Clinical application of assessment devices for the risk of dental caries with ultrasonic haptic sensor technology

龋病首发区的临床诊断对口腔健康促进和龋病预防具有重要意义。为了开发牙齿表面状况的诊断设备，包括初始龋坏区域，我们利用超声触觉传感器技术的硬组织超声矿化测量系统。在超声矿化度测量系统的临床应用中，需要热防护设备来保证读出的稳定性，而读出的稳定性对传感振荡器的热漂移有着敏感的影响。此外，针对口腔健康体检的数据管理，开发了口腔病历录入系统。从而建立了龋病危险性评价指标体系。

Clinical diagnosis of initial regions of dental caries is important for oral health promotion and prevention of dental caries. To development of diagnostic devices of tooth surfaces condition, including the initial caries regions, we utilized the ultrasonic mineralization measurement system of hard tissues with ultrasonic technology of haptic sensor. In the clinical use of the ultrasonic mineralization measurement system, the thermal protective equipment was needed for the stabilization of readout, which was sensitively influent to the thermal shift of the sensing oscillator. Furthermore, for the data management of mass oral health check-up, the dental chart input method system was developed. Thus, the evaluation system of caries risk assessment was established.
