HearForce: Force Estimation for Manual Toothbrushing with Earables

Proceedings of the ACM on Interactive, Mobile, Wearable and Ubiquitous Technologies
Excessive tooth brushing force can contribute to oral health issues such as gum recession and bleeding. While some electric toothbrushes offer force feedback, manual toothbrushes remain widely used due to their affordability and accessibility but do not give this sort of information to users. Therefore, they often lack awareness of the force they apply

A Twelve‐Month Observation Analysis of Real‐Time Contact Pressure‐Controlled Powered Tooth Brushing as a Subgroup Analysis of a 36‐Month RCT

International Journal of Dental Hygiene, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Bristle splaying may be associated with reduced cleaning efficacy; however, the relationship between the bristle splaying index (BSI) and contact pressure (CP) during brushing with a powered toothbrush (PT) with real‐time CP control for oscillating brush head movement (range: 0.8–2.5 N) remains unknown. Methods This subgroup analysis

SmarTeeth: Augmenting Manual Toothbrushing with In-ear Microphones

Proceedings of the 2025 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems
Improper toothbrushing practices persist as a primary cause of oral health issues such as tooth decay and gum disease. Despite the availability of high-end electric toothbrushes that offer some guidance, manual toothbrushes remain widely used due to their simplicity and convenience. We present SmarTeeth, an earable-based toothbrushing monitoring system

Behavioural Determinants of Post‐Brushing Dental Plaque Levels: A Video‐Based Analysis

International Journal of Dental Hygiene, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Toothbrushing remains the most widely practiced method for dental plaque removal. However, evidence‐based guidance on optimal brushing method, duration, toothbrush bristle wear, and dentifrice quantity is still insufficient. This study aimed to identify behavioural factors associated with post‐brushing dental plaque levels using ...
