As with teeth the best toothbrush to use with implants is a soft soft toothbrush as those bristles are able to get between the implant (or tooth) and gum to better clean away the plaque. I would recommend an electric toothbrush over hand toothbrushes as these are kore efficient in the limited time most people brush. best to get one that has a round head as these are able to reach more areas better then those with long rectangular heads Gregori M.
