Abstract: An oral treatment device includes intraoral image sensor equipment configured to generate image data representing at least a portion of the oral cavity of a user during use by the user of the oral treatment device. The oral treatment device includes a controller configured to process the generated image data to determine location data indicating a location of an interproximal gap between adjacent teeth in the oral cavity of the user. The controller is configured to process the generated image data using a trained classification algorithm configured to identify interproximal gaps, the trained classification algorithm having been trained prior to the use of the oral treatment device. The controller is configured to, during the use of the oral treatment device, control the oral treatment device to deliver a treatment to the detected interproximal gap based on the location data.

Abstract: A vibrating toothbrush and an eccentric shaft are proposed. The vibrating toothbrush includes a head in which bristles are planted, and a handle from which a head coupler protrudes, the head being detachably coupled to the head coupler. The toothbrush includes an electric motor accommodated in the handle to generate rotating force; and an eccentric shaft rotatably connected to the electric motor, at least a portion thereof being eccentric to generate vibration and thereby transmit vibration to the head coupler. The eccentric shaft includes a motor fixing part connected to the electric motor; an eccentric weight configured to be offset from a rotation center of the electric motor; and a rotating shaft formed of a metal material, and connecting the motor fixing part and the eccentric weight.

Abstract: A video capable electric toothbrush for proper periodontium prophylaxis having a rotating bristle assembly configured to rotate in multiple directions so as to implement a brushing technique having the brush rotate in a direction from the gum towards the tooth by use of a switch, and regardless of the specific tooth or teeth being brushed, the electric toothbrush is configured to brush along the gingival margin towards the tooth crown. The video capability allows a user to see and target brushing along the gingival margin, and recognize areas with high debris quantity requiring additional attention.
