Oro White Toothbrush ;Design and Conceptualizing Dental Caries Detection Method

ABSTRACT

We are living in a world today where stopping or halting can cause tremendous loss to our society. We have learned this lesson in the pandemic of COVID-19 the hard way. But a pandemic is not only the reason that can cause a halt. Toothache pain is described as intense, throbbing, miserable, or unbearable as it can affect a person’s ability to perform normal activities such as job, social activities, housework, talking, sleeping, and eating, all of these factors can result in mental health problems and halting their everyday life. In this particular design intervention, a device and a mobile application have been conceptualized as a solution, which will help common people to detect potential dental caries and will be able to take precautions. The device is a toothbrush specially designed and conceptualised that can detect tooth enamel decay. This data will be analysed in the mobile application to inform the user about their dental health. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
