Oral-B has released new evidence from a 2026 peer-reviewed network meta-analysis ranking its iO technology as the top performer for plaque removal and gingivitis reduction. The study analyzed 19 randomized clinical trials involving more than 1,300 participants.

The findings reinforce Oral-B’s position as the #1 toothbrush brand used and recommended by dentists worldwide. The analysis compared oscillating-rotating technology against other methods, identifying the unique round brush head design as a key differentiator for cleaning hard-to-reach areas.

Clinical Performance Data

The meta-analysis provided specific comparative metrics against manual brushing and premium sonic alternatives. Key performance indicators are outlined below.

Svetlana Farrell, DDS, PhD, Sr. Director of Oral Health Sciences & Professional Scientific Relations at Procter & Gamble, noted that brushing well is harder than most people think. She stated that Oral-B iO is designed to guide users to brush more thoroughly with the right pressure.

User Behavior and Coverage

Research cited in the release indicates significant gaps in manual brushing habits. Eighty percent of people miss at least one area when brushing, while 60% miss their molars. In contrast, product-use research shows that 84% of people reached all inside surfaces of their teeth after one week of using Oral-B iO. This compares to earlier research showing only 44% coverage with manual brushing.

Prof. Liran Levin, Professor of Periodontology at Northeast Ohio Medical University, highlighted that effective plaque control is foundational to gum health. He noted that many patients struggle with technique, time, pressure, and coverage at home.

Pediatric Engagement Metrics

The release also detailed performance data for Oral-B iO Kids, which holds the European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry Seal of Approval for children aged 3+. Product-use research reported high engagement levels among young users.

• 90% of children say they love brushing with Oral-B iO Kids
• 84% of parents report their child is motivated to brush twice daily for two minutes
• 83% of children say the brush makes them want to brush more often
• 88% of children find it easy to brush all areas of their mouth

Clinically, Oral-B iO Kids removes 1.5x more plaque than a manual toothbrush, including in hard-to-clean molars. Dr. Jeanette MacLean, a pediatric dentist, emphasized the importance of features that help children take their time and reach spots they tend to miss.

Environmental and Health Implications

A peer-reviewed life cycle assessment published in the Journal of Dentistry linked oral health maintenance to environmental impact. The study found that managing advanced periodontal disease can have up to approximately 10 times higher environmental impact compared with maintaining periodontal health through at-home prevention. Clinical interventions accounted for about 90% of total environmental impact across the modeled periodontal pathway.
