2.1 Current Situation of Oral Health

2.1.1 Youth Oral Health Problems

Among adolescents, oral health problems have always been a common difficult problem. Poor oral hygiene habits and incorrect eating habits are one of the main causes of oral health problems among adolescents. To address this issue, we propose an intelligent oral nurse, an innovative tool that can help adolescents improve their oral health level.

Through the use of intelligent oral care device, teenagers can be more convenient for oral care, including brushing, gargling and other steps. This tool can monitor the user's oral health, such as tooth cleanliness, gum health, etc., providing real-time feedback and advice. This helps teenagers to develop good oral hygiene habits and prevent the occurrence of oral diseases.

When designing intelligent oral caregivers, we considered the use habits and oral health needs of adolescents, ensuring that they have a good user experience and effect. In addition, we also use mathematical models to analyze oral health data to provide users with a personalized oral care program [3].

In the mathematical model, we used the following formula to assess the oral cleanliness:

Through this formula, we can objectively evaluate the oral cleanliness of the users and help them to improve their oral health status. It is hoped that the intelligent oral care device can become a good helper for teenagers' oral health and improve their quality of life and health level [4].

Among them, the intelligent oral care device combines artificial intelligence and sensing technology, which can monitor the oral situation in real time, remind users to pay attention to oral hygiene, and effectively prevent the occurrence of oral diseases.

The hot spots in the research field mainly focus on the intelligence degree and convenience of use of intelligent oral care device. At present, the smart oral care device has been connected to smart devices such as mobile phones and tablets, which can record the oral cleaning situation in real time through the APP and provide personalized advice. In the future, intelligent oral care devices may further integrate artificial intelligence technology to realize early warning and personalized treatment of oral diseases, and provide users with more comprehensive oral care services.

3 Intelligent Oral Care Device Design and Implementation

3.1 Design Concept of Intelligent Oral Care Device

The intelligent oral care device is originally designed to help teenagers establish good oral care habits and improve their oral health level. By regularly reminding brushing, recording the time of tooth cleaning, monitoring brushing intensity and method, help users improve brushing posture, control brushing time, effectively clean the mouth, and prevent the occurrence of tooth problems. Different from traditional toothbrushes, the intelligent oral care device adopts advanced technology, combined with ergonomic design. The unique intelligent system can monitor and analyze the oral health of users, and provide users with personalized oral care suggestions.

3.2 System Structure Design

The overall system structure of the intelligent oral nurse includes the main control module, the brush head module, the sensor module and the APP remote control module. The main control module is responsible for the control and data processing of the entire device, while the brush head module is responsible for the realization of the cleaning function. The sensor module can sense the situation inside the mouth and feedback to the main control module for adjustment. Through the APP remote control module, the user can monitor the oral health status anytime and anywhere, and control the device remotely.

3.3 Functional Module Design

In the functional module design of intelligent oral caregivers, we considered the special needs of adolescent oral care. The device is equipped with an intelligent brush head, which can intelligently adjust the vibration frequency and cleaning intensity according to the user's oral condition, to ensure that every brushing can clean the mouth perfectly. The device has a built-in oral health data monitoring module. By connecting with the mobile APP, users can check the oral health data at any time and understand their oral conditions. Intelligent oral care device also has the function of oral massage, which can relieve oral muscle fatigue and improve oral comfort. With comprehensive use of these functional modules, intelligent oral care device can help teenagers develop scientific and reasonable oral care programs and improve the level of oral health [5].

3.4 System Implementation

The design and implementation of this intelligent oral care device mainly includes both hardware and software. In the hardware aspect, we first selected high-quality sensors and electronic components to ensure the accuracy and stability of the system. At the same time, we also designed a precise structure, so that the oral care device can comfortably fit to the mouth, to achieve a better cleaning effect.

In terms of software, we use advanced artificial intelligence technology to develop intelligent algorithms, which can automatically adjust the cleaning mode and time according to the user's oral condition to ensure that the mouth is comprehensive and professional cleaning. We also designed a user-friendly interface to facilitate user operation and understand oral health status.

4 Experiments and Results Analysis

4.1 Experimental Design

To validate the effectiveness of smart oral caregivers in oral health, we designed an experimental [6]. We recruited a group of adolescent volunteers who were divided into two groups, one with a smart oral care cleaner and one with a traditional toothbrush. The experiment lasted one month with weekly oral examinations and questionnaires.

Volunteers recorded the time and method of each tooth brushing through a mobile phone APP when using a smart oral care device. We also set standards for oral cleaning, including the timing, frequency and intensity of tooth brushing. After the experiment, we compared and analyzed the oral health of the two groups of volunteers.

4.2 Data Collection and Processing

In the experiment, we collected a variety of data including tooth cleanliness, breath freshness and oral health status. By using intelligent oral care devices, we successfully obtained oral care habits, appliance use and oral health data of adolescents.

In the process of data processing and analysis, we used statistical methods and machine learning algorithms to analyze and mine the data. We found that adolescents using smart oral care devices performed better in oral health, had higher tooth cleanliness and breath freshness, and lower rates of caries and periodontal disease than nonusers. These results confirm the effectiveness of intelligent oral care devices in helping adolescents improve their oral health [7].

Through in-depth analysis of experimental data, we can provide data support for the improvement and optimization of oral care device and further improve its application effect in the field of oral health.

4.3 Result Analysis and Discussion

Studies have shown that adolescents who use smart oral care devices do better in their oral health. Their teeth are cleaner, their breath is fresher, and their gums are healthier. This is mainly attributed to the intelligent sensing technology of the intelligent oral nurse, which monitors the user's brushing habits and provides personalized oral care advice [8].

However, the intelligent oral care devices also have some deficiencies. The price is more expensive, and not all families can afford it. Current intelligent technology still needs to be improved, sometimes with misjudgment or wrong prompt information. Some users reflect that the design of the intelligent oral care device is not humanized enough, and it is difficult to operate [9].

5 Conclusions and Outlook

Through the research and development of intelligent oral care device, it can effectively solve the oral health problems of teenagers and improve the level of oral health. Intelligent oral nursing equipment has brushing reminders, oral health monitoring, personalized nursing advice and other functions, which can help teenagers develop good oral hygiene habits. The experimental results showed that the oral health status of teenagers using intelligent oral care device improved significantly, reduced the incidence of oral diseases, improved oral cleanliness and increased oral freshness. Intelligent oral care device, through intelligent technology, provides teenagers with convenient and efficient oral care tools, prevents the occurrence of oral diseases, and injects new vitality into the oral health of teenagers [10]. The design and implementation of intelligent oral care device mainly includes two aspects: hardware and software, through high-quality sensors and intelligent algorithms, to ensure the accuracy and stability of the system, and to provide personalized oral care advice for users. In the future, with the continuous development of artificial intelligence and big data technology, the intelligent oral care device will further become more intelligent and personalized, and provide a more comprehensive guarantee for the oral health of teenagers.
