Benefits of technology

The invention provides an orally-fitted device that can be used with patients during their period after they have been treated on their own (a type called orthodontic treatment). This helps them monitor how well things are doing while treating other people's problems like missing teeth.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed by this patented technology relates to improving methods for detecting and treating tobacco use disorders such as chronic gingivitis (gingival erosion) caused by plaque buildup on surfaces like root cords inside roots where toxins from cigarette smoke accumulate over time causing breakdown of enamel layers covering them). This method would help maintain long term healthy teeth while reducing these issues with traditional treatment techniques.

Embodiment Construction

[0026]An oral device according to various embodiments of the present disclosure includes a pH sensor; a housing on which the pH sensor is mounted; a processor configured to analyze measured pH from the pH sensor; and a wireless communication unit functionally connected to the processor and configured to perform communication with an external device.

[0027]The pH sensor may be a small sensor capable of measuring pH in an oral cavity. Through the oral device of the present disclosure, which includes the pH sensor part, a patient is able to check her or his oral condition by herself or himself. Oral diseases, such as dental caries, are caused by hydrogen ionization concentration, saliva buffering ability, saliva viscosity, saliva flow rate, and sensitivity, and these factors are closely related to oral acidity. The average pH of oral acidity is about 7.0 and is neutral. However, when there are gum diseases such as dental caries or periodontitis, oral acidity is lowered. That is, by providi

Abstract

An oral device for checking a time to go to a dentist. The oral device includes a pH sensor configured to measure pH within an oral cavity, a housing on which the pH sensor is mounted, a processor configured to analyze measured pH from the pH sensor, and a wireless communication unit functionally connected to the processor and configured to perform communication with an external device. The oral device is useful for a patient who needs continuous management such as an implant surgery patient by allowing the patient to visually and easily check a time to go to a dentist and an individual oral condition of the patient. Further, by allowing the user to simply check the condition of the oral cavity at home, it is possible to more effectively manage the condition of the teeth and to save medical expenses.
