Summary

The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of computer-assisted TBI (toothbrushing instruction) using a smart toothbrush and smart mirror (STM system) in plaque control to that of conventional TBI.

Conditions

  • Toothbrushing

Interventions

DEVICE

The smart toothbrush and smart mirror (STM) system (XiuSolution, Gyeonggi-do, Korea)

The STM system comprises a smart mirror, which is integrated into a computer monitor, and a 3D motion-capture device inside of a modified toothbrush holder. The computer program displays a toothbrushing animation in the mirror. Toothbrush motions detected by sensors embedded inside the holder are captured and sent to the server for analysis. (used only during the test visits) Participants had to brush their teeth at home (using toothbrushes with a flat-trimmed nylon bristle of identical type and length.) for 3 min thrice daily, after meals, as recommended by the Korean Dental Association.
