About
U. van der Velden is a leading researcher in dental hygiene and oral health, with a focus on the clinical efficacy of electric toothbrushes. Their work bridges laboratory models and patient-centered studies to evaluate plaque removal technologies. In a pivotal 2000 study, van der Velden conducted a comparative investigation of two oscillating/rotating electric toothbrushes—the Philips/Jordan HP 735 and the Braun Oral-B Ultra Plaque Remover (D9). This research, cited 18 times, provided critical insights into how brush design impacts oral hygiene outcomes, helping to shape evidence-based recommendations for both clinicians and consumers. By combining rigorous laboratory testing with real-world clinical trials, van der Velden’s contributions have advanced the understanding of mechanical plaque control, a cornerstone of preventive dentistry. Their work remains a reference point for studies on toothbrush efficacy, underscoring the importance of translational research in improving daily oral care practices.
