Light Energy Conversion Toothbrush (Soladeytm) Towards a Super Clean Mouth! : A Review

Abstract

Oral hygiene is the practice of keeping the mouth clean to prevent dental decay. Cleaning the teeth is the process of removing dental plaque, which mainly consist of streptococcus mutans bacteria. Streptococcus mutans contribute towards tooth decay. Prolonged plaque presence increases the likelihood of cavities, gum diseases and gingivitis. The need for good oral hygiene is obvious and is achieved mostly through brushing the teeth with a fluoride treated toothpaste and toothbrush. The Soladey TM toothbrush differs from conventional toothbrush by utilizing a TiO 2 semiconductor to accomplish the plaque removal assistance of toothpaste. The following article focuses on the function of Soladey TM toothbrush as additional plaque removal force.
