Dental chips: the road to a more customize odontology
Would you have imagined a few years back that a chip could transform the dentistry world? Thanks to the Oregon Health & Science University (USA) a new device for teeth (tooth on chip) has been introduced that can offer different possibilities such asidentifying obturation materials that will endure on teeth and expand the dentists’ knowledge on illnesses, injuries and treatments.
How do dental chips work?
The dental chips transmit data through electromagnetic waves. The dental chip is put in a small capsule that is then stuck to a tooth. The chip is then connected to a sensor that measures whatever parameters one requires. The data is transmitted to an external depository—a computer, a smart watch, a smartphone, a tablet, or any other device—through electromagnetic waves. The users can access this data through a mobile app or a website. Some dental chips also have the ability to send notifications to users when they detect abnormalities or for any programmed reason.
What does the development of dental chips contribute to dental health?
- One of the fundamental motivations to develop dental chips has been the necessity for greater precision and efficiency in the diagnosis and treatment of dental illnesses. Dental chips can store and transmit information about oral health in a fast and precise manner. This allows dentists to detect oral illnesses at an early stage and provide more effective treatment.
- Another reason to develop dental chips has been the necessity to improve oral hygiene and prevent dental problems. Dental chips can be programmed to record when people brush their teeth or use dental floss. Whats more, they can supply information about the effectiveness of oral hygiene, helping people maintain good oral health and prevent dental issues in the future.
To summarise, dental chips have been developed with the aim to improve care for dental health and promote dental hygiene–through the storage and transmission of information about oral health and the promotion of adaptive oral hygiene habits.
In conclusion dental chips are an innovative technology that has been developed to improve dental care and help achieve better oral health. Put these small electronic devices on someones teeth and they can store and transmit precise information about that persons oral health. Furthermore, dental chips can be programmed to remind people to brush their teeth or floss through notifications, and then provide information about the effectiveness of their dental hygiene afterwards. Dental chips can be a valuable tool for detecting problems early and promoting good oral health in general.
