Measure	Time frame
The primary deliverable outcome of this study is to determine the comparative effect of various types of toothbrushes on gingival microcirculation levels in children aged 12 to 16 years. This includes identifying which toothbrush types manual, electric, soft-bristled, or otherwise offer the most beneficial or least harmful impact on gingival blood flow, a key indicator of gum health.Timepoint: The primary deliverable outcome of this study is to determine the comparative effect of various types of toothbrushes on gingival microcirculation levels in children aged 12 to 16 years.
