Clinical Research Findings
Experience a better way to brush with the Oral-B ProfessionalCare 5000 Series toothbrush, designed to clean effectively in three brushing dimensions at once. The unique brushing action combines pulsations with the oscillating-rotating technology, pioneered by Oral-B, to reduce plaque and gingivitis more effectively than a manual toothbrush.1

Now, a completely independent study has concluded "Brushes that worked with a rotation oscillation action removed more plaque and reduced gingivitis more effectively than manual brushes in the short and long-term....No other powered brush designs were consistently superior..."2

Clinically Proven Benefits
+ Cleans better than a manual toothbrush1
+ Improves the health of gums by reversing gingivitis 1
+ Removes stains3
+ Helps prevent gum disease, the leading cause of tooth loss1
+ As gentle on teeth and gums as a soft manual toothbrush1

Product Features
+ Unique 3D brushing action cleans by combining two distinct brushing motions, pulsations and oscillations. The in-and-out pulsating movements (20,000 per minute) reach deep to loosen plaque, while the side-to-side oscillating movements (7,600 per minute) whisk it away
+ Green Oral-B® FlexiSoft® bristles bend slightly when they interact with water, to provide a brushing action that's as gentle as a soft manual toothbrush
+ Oral-B® Indicator® bristles fade halfway when it's time to replace your brushhead
+ Built-in Pressure Sensor stops pulsations if you are brushing too hard
+ Memory Timer sends a signal after the dentist-recommended 2-minute brushing time
+ Anti-slip grip
+ Water-resistant handle
+ A fully charged handle lasts 7 days between charges*
