Applications of IMU Devices for Smart Toothbrushing, A Dental Therapy Approach

A person's dental health can be preserved by using a toothbrush properly. Additionally, several brushing methods have been established for children, adults, and those wearing a variety of partial dentures, dental prostheses, or oral diseases. There are primarily two methods for giving users real-time feedback. The first is based on intelligent toothbrushes that have bristle pressure sensors and inertial measurement units attached. Data from these sensors is then transmitted to a smartphone or tablet that monitors the user's habits and gives them statistics about their brushing habits as well as recommendations for how to improve their timing and technique. By shifting the computing work to a handheld device, the second option simplifies the toothbrush gadget. In this essay, we analyze the methods and come to the conclusion that only a data fusion may result in a comprehensive analysis of the tooth brushing technique that would be helpful to dental therapists and dentists, as well.
