Overview
This episode features Dr. Liran Levin, DMD. In this lesson Dr. Levin will answer some of the following questions: What does the literature have to say about which powered toothbrush is most effective? The oscillating-rotating type or sonic action? How should implants be prioritized in a treatment plan? Do they enjoy equal footing with a natural tooth? Dr. Liran Levin presents his research on these topics! He will go in depth about his peer-reviewed article: “Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled studies comparing oscillating-rotating and other powered toothbrushes.”
