Systems and methods for diagnosis and treatment of swallowing disorders

A system is provided for monitoring patients with dysphagia, or swallowing impairments, that monitors muscle movement during intensive swallowing exercises to provide adjuvant visual feedback from surface electromyography.

SYSTEM FOR MEASURING TEETH MOVEMENT AND CONTACT PRESSURE
20210345944 · 2021-11-11 ·

A wearable dental apparatus for capturing dental properties of a patient includes a support structure. The support structure is configured to be worn on the dentition of the patient. The wearable dental apparatus includes at least one sensor. The sensor is coupled to the support structure. The sensor is configured to capture a series of measurement of a dental property of the patient. The measurements are associated with one or more locations on the dentition of the patient. A dental map is generated based on at least some of the measurements and is displayed. The dentition of a patient is restored by selecting a restoration material based on the measurements.

Infant feeding measurement device

A system for monitoring infant feeding habit includes a nipple having an embedded pressure sensing passage and pressure sensing opening. The pressure sensing opening is proximate the nipple feeding opening. The pressure sensing passage allows monitoring of change in pressure of infant sucks and swallows throughout feeding.

Method for determining and visualizing tooth positions under the action of biting forces
11653875 · 2023-05-23 · ·

A method for representing a tooth position under biting forces includes creating first surface data of a portion(s) of a maxilla tooth row and second surface data of an opposing portion(s) of a mandible tooth row, producing a digital surface model from the surface data, creating a data record which includes outer surface data of teeth lying in the portions of the maxilla tooth row and the mandible tooth row in a centric occlusion under biting forces, defining registration regions in the maxilla and mandible in the outer surface data which are not exposed to any force in the centric occlusion, registering the surface data on the outer surface data based on the registration regions, ascertaining movements of individual teeth outside of the registration regions from the outer surface data, transforming the movements ascertained into the surface data, and creating a modified digital surface model under consideration of the movements.

INTELLIGENT MOUTH OPENING REHABILITATION DEVICE

An intelligent mouth opening rehabilitation device is provided, including: a body, an end of the body is provided with an upper bite pad and a lower bite pad; a pressure sensor, for detecting pressure data on the upper bite pad and/or the lower bite pad; a stepping motor, for driving the upper bite pad and/or the lower bite pad to swing longitudinally; and a processor, for controlling the stepping motor to operate or stop according to the pressure data and/or a preset training instruction, thereby driving the upper bite pad and/or the lower bite pad to swing longitudinally or to stop. Compared with traditional mouth opening rehabilitation devices, the intelligent mouth opening rehabilitation device controls automatically the upper bite pad and/or the lower bite pad to swing longitudinally, so that a mouth opening training is more accurate, and more controllable. Therefore, a rehabilitation effect is greatly improved.
