Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus comprising an insertion member configured to be inserted to a user's mouth. The insertion member comprises one or more illumination sources, configured to illuminate a part of the user's mouth when inserted thereinto; one or more imaging devices configured to capture images of the user's mouth interior; and a processing module configured to receive images from the one or more imaging devices, process the images to data, and detect oral and/or dental anomalies from the processed images and send the processed images and data via wireless or wired connection to a physician or professional doctor for further analysis.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a dental care device for detection and removal of plaque automatically and independently, comprising: a) a motion controlled and pressure sensitive plaque removal head having at least one array of bristles; b) a plaque detection unit adapted to capture images of the teeth and gums, wherein said plaque detection unit includes an imaging device and a light source with specific wavelength for illumination said teeth and gums; and c) a plaque detection engine adapted to process the captured images in order to detect plaque infected areas on said teeth, and accordingly to generate instructions for automatically guiding said motion controlled plaque removal head, thereby executing all the necessary movements for automatically and independently removing the plaque from said teeth while minimizing abrasiveness by controlling the pressure applied and avoiding brushing to clean areas of the teeth and gums.
