A method for promoting compliance with an oral hygiene regimen includes displaying, on a display device, a representation of at least a portion of a set of teeth of a user. The method also includes overlaying an indicium on the representation such that the indicium is associated with a first section of the representation. Responsive to a determination, via at least one of one or more processors, that a head of an oral hygiene device is positioned directly adjacent to a first section of the set of teeth that corresponds to the first section of the representation for at least a predetermined amount of time, the indicium is removed from the display device.

Introduced here is a technology to help a child's caregiver develop good daily habits in the child by providing a method to keep track of time that the young child can understand. In one embodiment, the child carries a smart watch on the wrist, which displays upcoming tasks using easy to understand pictographs. The smart watch is wirelessly connected to the smart phone of the caregiver. The caregiver can program the smart phone to send a particular pictograph at a particular time to the child's watch to remind the child of the upcoming task. For example, when time comes to brush teeth, the smart watch can display a picture of the toothbrush.

Various operational mode arrangements of an electric toothbrush (10) include pre-programming a controller portion (16) of the electric toothbrush such that a single brushing event of approximately two minutes comprises automatically at least two different operating modes and specified times for each mode. Another operational mode includes the capability of operating the on/off button (20) of the toothbrush within a specified short time following termination of a normal brushing event to provide the user a specified additional time, e.g. 30 seconds of toothbrush action. A special toothbrush interface arrangement includes a display (80) which encourages children to maintain brushing for the full brushing period. This is accomplished through sequential illustration of the progress of an article from an initial state to a final desired state as the toothbrush is used for increasing portions of a full brushing time period. In another embodiment, a toothbrush (120) includes a capability of adjusting the performance/operating characteristics in accordance with the age of a child user.

A cup has an open cup top, a closed cup bottom, and a cup side wall. A base has a closed base top, a closed base bottom, and a base side wall. A coupling assembly includes a lower coupling plate in the closed base top. The coupling assembly includes an upper coupling plate in the closed cup bottom. The L-shaped projections in the upper coupling plate are adapted to be inserted into apertures in the lower coupling plate for coupling the cup and the base. A sound assembly includes a lowermost sound plate in the closed base bottom. A musical chip is mounted to the lowermost sound plate. A button extending through the base side wall is operatively coupled to the musical chip.

A toothbrush holder comprises a main body having a toothbrush removal sensor positioned to detect removal of the toothbrush from the toothbrush holder and issuing a removal signal in response to the removal of the toothbrush. A timer initiates a time count when the removal signal is issued by the toothbrush removal sensor. A display is provided on the main body and displays an indicia of the time count upon the commencement of the time count. The toothbrush holder further comprises a top section having at least one aperture that removably receives a toothbrush handle. The top section is removably mounted to the main body. The toothbrush holder further comprises a bottom section comprising a drip tray removably mounted to the main body.

A method and apparatus for providing occupational therapy using a toothbrush with a palmar grip handle is provided. A plurality of toothbrushes may provide the palmar grip along a portion of the handle, where the palmar grips may be of various sizes. The palmar grip may be substantially spherical in shape, and sized and adapted to stimulate the central nervous system for improving muscle memory, thereby aiding in the rehabilitation of users suffering from central nervous system trauma. The set of toothbrushes may be used in such a manner where a user may become accustom to one size grip before using another size grip. The palmar grip may also be sized and adapted to prevent over-brushing for all users, as well as providing a more comfortable grip for those suffering from hand and join pain disorders, hand-weakness, manual dexterity ailments or fine motor impairments.
摘要:
Comparative effectiveness of various oral care products such as dentifrices on preventing dental erosion may be demonstrated using simulated enamel. A substrate is prepared. A mineral layer to simulate dental enamel is nucleated by solution growth on the substrate surface. Alternatively, the mineral layer may be nucleated on a template comprising a self-assembled monolayer formed on a gold layer deposited on the substrate surface. The mineral layer may comprise a homogeneous layer of hydroxyapatite or a thin veneer of hydroxyapatite on a layer of amorphous calcium phosphate. The simulated enamel is then optionally treated with an oral care product and subjected to an acid challenge. The amount of mineral layer remaining after the acid challenge illustrates the effectiveness or non-effectiveness of the oral care product at preventing dental erosion.
