RCTs available in English were included. Oral hygiene and gingival outcomes in CSCNs, using powered or manual toothbrushes were: plaque index (PI), Quigley Hein plaque index (QHPI), gingival index (GI), and oral hygiene index simplified (OHI\u2010S). ROB and publication bias was assessed using Cochrane tool and funnel plots, respectively. Meta\u2010analyses were performed using forest plots. GRADE was used for the quality.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Twelve studies were included in SR and 11 studies in MA.
