Dental care device for detecting and removing plaque

摘要

The present invention relates to a dental care device for automatically and independently detecting and removing plaque, the dental care device comprising: a) a motion controlled feeling comprising at least one bristle array. A pressure plaque removal head; and b) a plaque detection unit adapted to capture images of teeth and gums, comprising an imaging device and a light source of a specific wavelength for illuminating the teeth and gums. A plaque detection unit, and c) instructions for processing the captured image to automatically detect a plaque-contaminated area on the teeth and automatically guiding a motion-controlled plaque removal head accordingly. Generate and thereby perform all the movements necessary to automatically and independently remove plaque from the teeth, as well as control the applied pressure and brush against clean areas of the teeth and gums And a plaque detection engine that is adapted to minimize wear by avoiding grayed.
