Management of Dental Biofilm-Induced Gingivitis: Oral Hygiene Instruction, Behavioural Strategies and Self-Performed Mechanical Oral Hygiene-A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Researchers reviewed studies on managing gum inflammation through improved oral hygiene instruction, behavioural strategies, and brushing devices. Enhanced instruction and behavioural support showed modest benefits, while powered toothbrushes—particularly oscillating-rotating and sonic types—substantially reduced gum bleeding compared to manual brushing.
