Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Phase A) The explorative analysis of the cleaning behavior of participants with Parkinson's disease and healthy controls shows differences Phase B) The 4-week use of an electric toothbrush leads to a lower plaque index (QHI) in people with Parkinson's disease than the use of a manual toothbrush. (mean plaque index) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Phase A) The plaque reduction competence measured with the QHI before and after brushing is significantly greater in healthy controls than in participants with Parkinson's disease. (mean plaque index) Phase B) The 4-week use of an electric toothbrush leads to a lower gingivitis index (P gingivitis index (PBI) than the use of a manual toothbrush. (mean gingivitis index) | — |
