Definitions
- the invention relates to methods and arrangements for determining a non-therapeutic treatment of the oral cavity.
- a method of determining a non-therapeutic mouthwash treatment comprising measuring volatile organic compounds in air expired from the oral cavity, determining a breathing air load based on the measured concentration, and determining a non-therapeutic mouthwash treatment based on the determined breathing air load.
- an arrangement for determining a non-therapeutic treatment of the oral cavity is provided.
- a method for monitoring the success of a non-therapeutic oral cavity treatment is provided.
- Figure 1 shows an arrangement for determining a non-therapeutic treatment of the oral cavity.
- FIG. 2 shows a graphical representation of the breathing air load of a user over time.
- FIG. 3 is a flow chart illustrating a method for determining a non-therapeutic treatment of the oral cavity.
- Figure 4 shows an arrangement for determining a non-therapeutic treatment of the oral cavity.
- Figure 5 shows a method for monitoring the success of a non-therapeutic oral cavity treatment.
- Halitosis is caused by the breakdown of food components by bacteria. Most are organic and sulfur-containing, volatile substances that lead to malodorous breath. By gas chromatography, about 1000 different volatile compounds have been identified that may be mixed with the exhaled breath in human halitosis. These include sulfur compounds such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S), methanethiol (methyl mercaptan) and dimethyl sulfide, as well as amines, diamines and other nitrogen compounds such as 1, 5-diaminopentane, indole and skatole, ketones such as acetone (propanone) and short-chain carboxylic acids (propionic acid, butyric acid). These substances arise z. B. by the bacterial decomposition of organic substances from food remnants, saliva or dead tissue material (shed epithelial cells).
- halitosis can be detected by using a sensor that measures specific volatile organic volatile organic compounds (VOCs), for example, one or more of the volatile compounds mentioned above.
- VOCs volatile organic volatile organic compounds
- a user's breathing air load is determined in this way, and based on the determined respiratory air load, a non-therapeutic treatment can be determined and proposed to the user.
- Volatile organic compounds is the collective term for organic, ie carbon-containing substances which evaporate easily (are volatile) or are present as gas even at low temperatures (eg room temperature).
- respiratory air pollution is understood to be the odor load of the exhaled air.
- breathing air stress means that substances in the exhaled air of a human being (such as those mentioned above) are perceived as malodorous, and in a significant amount so that they appear as (noticeable) halitosis ,
- halitosis What is categorized as noticeable halitosis, for example, can be determined with a sniffer study. Sniffers can be skilled assessors, for example, regularly trained by an institute and then selected for their suitability. By means of dynamic olfactometry the odor threshold of the testers can be checked. Similarly, levels of VOCs in the exhaled air can be assigned degrees of halitosis. For example, assuming from 1 to 1000 parts per billion (VPC) of exhaled air in VOC, value ranges of VOC concentrations, as judged by sniffer levels, may be assigned to respiratory effort (ie, halitosis levels), for example, as shown in Table 1 ,
- Figure 1 shows an arrangement for determining a non-therapeutic treatment of the oral cavity.
- the concentration of VOCs in the air (breath) 102 exhaled from a user's mouth 101 is measured by a measuring device 103.
- the measuring device 103 uses a technique for quantifying VOC in the breathing air. For example, it has a selective sensor that specifically measures one or more volatile organic compounds or groups of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the breath 102.
- VOCs volatile organic compounds
- the measuring device 103 may measure the VOC concentration using, for example, a redox sensor, a photoionization detection (PID) sensor, or based on gas chromatography (GC) or a combination thereof.
- An analysis device 104 is coupled to the measuring device 103.
- the analysis device 104 (and possibly also the measuring device 103) can be, for example, an electronic device, eg a portable electronic device such as a smartphone, a smartband, a smartwatch, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), a tablet computer (or integrated therein) be realized by this) but also be an arbitrary computer.
- the measuring device 103 may have any size. To allow the user to carry the measuring device 103 with him (and to use it, for example, with his smartphone), it may for example have a size that fits easily into hand and trouser pockets (eg base ⁇ 16 cm 2 , height ⁇ 1 cm).
- the measuring device 103 is a device for quantifying VOCs in the exhaled air 102 and measures, for example, the VOC concentration in the exhaled air 102 in a particular unit (e.g., ppb).
- the analysis device 104 determines from the measured VOC concentration a breathing air load, for example in the form of a breathing air load value. For example, analyzer 104 generates a value of the respiratory air load in an arbitrary unit, e.g. a severity of bad breath, or even a verbal guide for the user based on the measured VOC concentration. For example, the analyzer 104 may determine a halitosis category from the measured VOC concentration as shown in Table 1, optionally with a higher number of gradings than indicated in Table 1.
- the analysis device 104 can then determine a non-therapeutic treatment proposal based on the determined respiratory air load and, for example, display it on a display 105 coupled to the analysis device 104 (for example optionally the display of the smartphone or the tablet computer).
- the arrangement 100 has a screen, a display or a touchscreen in order to provide a user with information, for example with determined recommendations for a non-therapeutic treatment.
- the arrangement 100 may also have an audio output for this purpose.
- the analyzer may execute analysis software (e.g., an app) that performs the functions described above and below.
- analysis software e.g., an app
- analyzer 104 may derive and display product recommendations for individual oral hygiene, such as recommendations for improving individualized dental care, such as tooth brushing.
- the analyzer 104 may suggest to the user to brush the teeth more frequently or mouthwash (with suggestions as to which mouthwash the user could use or which toothpaste the user could use) or even recommend a visit to the dentist.
- the recommendation of a visit to a dentist can link the analysis device 104 directly to a software (eg an app) that makes it possible to make an appointment with a dentist.
- a software eg an app
- Other nontherapeutic treatments of the oral cavity may include the use of specialized toothbrushes such as interdental brushes, toothbrushes for implants or dentures, tongue cleaners, compositions, particularly gels, for application to the teeth and / or gums, mouthwashes, mouth sprays and / or chewing gums.
- the analyzer 104 may also issue a warning to the user that the halitosis may result in a negative reaction in the presence of other persons when the determined respiratory air load reaches a certain level (eg, "medium halitosis” or "bad halitosis” according to US Pat Categorization according to Table 1).
- a certain level eg, "medium halitosis” or "bad halitosis” according to US Pat Categorization according to Table 1).
- the analysis device 104 may also provide nutritional advice for better breath as a treatment suggestion.
- the analyzer 104 may also indicate that everything is in order, and the treatment proposal in this case may be seen as keeping the current habits.
- the treatment proposal may include a product recommendation that depends on the respiratory air load (i.e., the level of respiratory air load).
- the non-therapeutic treatment may be additionally determined based on predetermined data.
- the predetermined data can be stored, for example, in a memory and / or provided by an external data processing system.
- the given data can be in the form of a database.
- the given data may contain literature data, for example concerning the compatibility and ingredients of cosmetics, or also data regarding treatment courses of other consumers. Accordingly, the data may contain information about cosmetics, e.g. their ingredients and effects on body parts.
- the specified data can be obtained on request of the user or regularly from an external data processing system.
- the analysis device 104 may, for example, a communication interface for data transmission with a server 107 (or in general an external data processing system) exhibit.
- the server 107 may, for example, be contactable via the Internet and may for example be part of a server network that implements a cloud.

- the analyzer 204 determines a user's breath load every day over a period of several weeks.
- the days are plotted along the x-axis 201 and the respiratory air load is indicated (in some unit, e.g., a VOC concentration) according to the y-axis scale 202.
- the values are connected in this example to a smoothed curve 203 to indicate continuous development.
- the analyzer 104 may also determine the breathing air load at shorter time intervals and generate the curve 203 based on a higher number (or denser) of determined values of the respiratory air load.
- the analysis device 104 can in turn give care and product recommendations. For example, if the treatment fails to improve, the analyzer 104 may recommend other or more metered products.
- the analyzer 104 in determining non-therapeutic treatment (eg, care and product recommendations), may also include the user's answers to questions regarding his general dental status (for example, presence of dentures, such as Implants, bridges, etc. or braces), their oral hygiene habits (for example name of oral hygiene products used, frequency of brushing teeth, use of special toothbrushes such as interdental brushes or tongue brushes), their dietary habits, general health (eg about illness, allergies, medication) and more Incorporate behaviors (such as smoking habits).
- the analysis device 104 may display corresponding questions on the display 105 and receive and process the responses via an input device (eg, a keyboard or a touch screen), ie, determine the non-therapeutic treatment based on the responses.
- the analyzer 104 may also base literature data on the determination of non-therapeutic treatment, as well as the treatment success of non-therapeutic treatments of other users (for example, the same software or app using the analyzer 104).
- the respiratory air loads detected during a non-therapeutic treatment are uploaded to a server 107 (e.g., a cloud), e.g. along with a user's profile, and the analyzer 104 may download such data from other users, such as users having a profile similar to the user of the analyzer 104, to determine which treatment methods are successful for users of such or similar profile , It can also be determined on the server side which treatment methods for which user profiles are successful and the analysis device 104 can download this information and include it in the determination of the non-therapeutic treatment.
- a server 107 e.g., a cloud
- the analyzer 104 may download such data from other users, such as users having a profile similar to the user of the analyzer 104, to determine which treatment methods are successful for users of such or similar profile . It can also be determined on the server side which treatment methods for which user profiles are successful and the analysis device 104 can download this information and include it in the determination of the non-therapeutic treatment.
- the user profile may include oral hygiene habits, eating habits, drinking habits, smoking habits, gender, height, age, weight, etc.
