Iranian Researcher Makes Smart Toothbrush with Capability of Detecting Tooth Decay
“The tooth decay detecting toothbrush is a smart device that warns the user of the start of tooth decay by detecting the change in tooth color,” Kamelia Sejdeh, a student of microbiology at Islamic Azad University’s Ayatollah Amoli branch, told ANA on the sidelines of the ‘Asreh Omid Event’.
“The buyers of the toothbrush should first prepare a full preliminary scan of their teeth using laboratory scanners and photography. This data should be loaded into the special toothbrush software in Android phones, and after preparing the initial database of the state of the teeth, the smart toothbrush starts its performance while brushing the teeth based on the light scan it performs,” she added.
Sejdeh said that the smart toothbrush sends information about changes in the color of the teeth to the phone which is the first sign of decay, adding that it can prevent paying heavy costs for root canals by detecting decay on time.
Islamic Azad University's "second step of revolution" under the title of Asreh Omid Event was held in Tehran's Mosalla from May 29 to June 01, 2022 to exhibit new achievements, equipment and products in the technological and innovation arenas in line with opening new windows towards strengthening the idea of creating ground for knowledge-based businesses at the 40th anniversary of establishment of the Islamic Azad University.
