Difference from conventional toothbrushes:
Electric toothbrushes include rotating toothbrushes as well as sonic and ultrasonic toothbrushes. While the former usually have round brushes that rotate alternately from left to right, sonic toothbrushes are equipped with elongated, vibrating heads. With 20,000 to 40,000 vibrations per minute, they achieve significantly higher mechanical movement than rotating brushes. Ultrasonic toothbrushes use a completely different technology. While rotating and sonic toothbrushes remove biofilm with the help of mechanical movement, the emmi-dent Platinum works with up to 96 million ultrasonic vibrations per minute and requires no mechanical movement for tooth cleaning. Motionless tooth cleaning thanks to state-of-the-art ultrasonic technology, or brushing teeth without scrubbing.
Thus, the decisive difference lies in the type of tooth cleaning: just like manual toothbrushes, rotating and sonic toothbrushes also clean teeth mechanically. This so-called macro-cleaning poses a risk of injury to gums and tooth enamel if the toothbrush is used improperly. In addition, ultrasound is able to minimize inflammation. This is confirmed by our study.
Oral care with conventional toothbrushes is limited to the areas of the mouth that the rotating or sonic toothbrush reaches. In contrast to conventional electric toothbrushes, the ultrasonic toothbrush works entirely without pressure by transmitting vibrations. In this way, the entire oral cavity is comprehensively cleaned.
Difference from other ultrasonic toothbrushes:
The emmi-dent Platinum toothbrush differs from other ultrasonic toothbrush models due to several important features and improvements. Here are the notable differences:
Improved ultrasonic efficiency:
The Platinum models use optimized timing through the integration of a 4-pin system. This improvement makes the ultrasonic technology significantly more effective compared to the emmi-dent Metallic and Go models. The improved timing allows for a more efficient and powerful cleaning effect, which ensures thorough plaque removal and oral hygiene.
Extended battery life:
The emmi-dent Platinum has a longer battery life than its predecessor models. With regular use of 2–3 times per day, the Platinum can last up to 15 days before it needs to be recharged. This extended battery life (lithium-ion) offers convenience and uninterrupted use, making frequent charging unnecessary.
LED battery status indicator:
Another notable feature of the emmi-dent Platinum is the integrated LED battery status indicator. With this indicator, the user can easily monitor the remaining battery life of the toothbrush. This makes it easy to ensure that the device is sufficiently charged and ready for use.
Vibration on/off option:
A special feature of the emmi-dent Platinum is the ability to switch off the vibration as desired. This distinguishes it from the otherwise identical emmi-dent Platinum Care. To do this, simply hold down the power button for approx. 10 seconds when switching on until the LED flashes 3 times. Now remove your finger from the button and switch on as normal. Would you like to reverse it? Simply go through the same process. Through the option of switching off the vibration, even people who prefer vibration-free cleaning can benefit from the ultrasonic technology.
