No. I’d actually never heard of them before. I looked quickly at Wikipedia and one of the claims struck me as equivocal—it may be better at reducing bleeding than flossing, but it’s only as good at the actual anti-plaque cleaning?
I just did a brief look at the easily accessible abstracts that I could find and got the impression:
Oral irrigator + electric brush > Oral irrigator + normal brush > flossing + electric brush > flossing + normal brush > normal brush.
I’m not sure to what degree publication bias applies.
