“…Figure 4 shows the distribution of awareness among the study participants. This general unawareness could be due to the removal of the participants from the values and practices of Islam (Guntur, 2021), as well as the prominence of alternatives for maintaining oral hygiene (Jeong et al, 2022).…”

Miswak is a chewing stick that has been used in Muslim communities across the world for over 1,500 years as an oral hygiene aid. There is evidence to support its clinical effectiveness in plaque management when used alone or in conjunction with a conventional toothbrush. However, evidence of its deleterious effects on periodontal health is equivocal. To study culturally acceptable strategies for promoting oral health practices and preventing illness among adolescents in Saudi Arabia, advertisements were assessed for their ability to engage and open up new communication channels for oral health messages. The aim is to encourage adolescents to adopt the habit of using miswak to improve their oral hygiene, wherever they may be. The data for this study was collected from 116 teenage respondents from Saudi Arabia. The mean age of the study participants was 16.66 ± 0.943 years, with a median age of 17 and a range from 12 to 17. The study included 66 males (56.9%) and 50 females (43.1%). Furthermore, the overall mean assessments of both advertisements were negative due to several problems with the design and use of pictures in the ads. The analysis of this study show that a more standardised method of advertisement is required to properly gain the attention of this generation of adolescents in Saudi Arabia. In addition, the individuals who took part in the research believed that social media is the most suitable venue for conveying messages promoting miswak. To be able to communicate effectively about oral health messaging, one must first have a solid understanding of the advertising messages that are relevant to oral health, as well as the influence of religion. Another prerequisite for the creation of effective advertising is knowledge of media platforms and the impacts that these platforms have on the behaviour of teenagers. Successful communication could make youths in Saudi Arabia likelier to use miswak.

“…Smart toothbrushes have been enhanced with three-dimensional motion tracking systems to improve plaque control. Research has demonstrated that computer-assisted toothbrushing methods utilizing smart systems are more effective in controlling plaque compared to traditional methods (Jeong et al, 2022). Furthermore, the development of applications like the "Toothbrushing Timer with Information on Toothbrushes" has proven beneficial in enhancing self-efficacy in oral hygiene practices among users (Kaneyasu, 2023).…”

This paper explores the potential of leveraging data analytics and IoT technologies to enhance oral health programs in schools. By analyzing data generated from IoT devices such as smart toothbrushes and oral health trackers, schools can implement targeted interventions, promote better oral hygiene practices, and prevent dental issues among students. This comprehensive approach not only improves oral health outcomes but also contributes to overall student health and academic success. In recent years, the integration of data analytics and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies has brought about significant transformations across multiple industries, with healthcare being a prominent example. Oral health, a fundamental aspect of overall well-being, stands to benefit greatly from these advancements. This paper delves into the potential of harnessing data analytics and IoT technologies to elevate oral health programs within educational institutions, particularly schools. By tapping into the wealth of data generated by IoT devices such as smart toothbrushes and oral health trackers, schools can devise targeted interventions, foster improved oral hygiene practices, and preemptively address dental issues among their students. This comprehensive approach not only yields tangible improvements in oral health outcomes but also holds the promise of enhancing overall student health and bolstering academic success. In recent years, the integration of data analytics and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies has not only revolutionized various sectors but has also become a driving force in reshaping healthcare practices. Amidst these advancements, oral health, often overlooked yet crucial to overall well-being, emerges as a domain ripe for transformation. This paper embarks on an exploration of how the amalgamation of data analytics and IoT can invigorate oral health programs within educational settings, particularly schools. By delving into the vast pool of data generated by IoT devices such as smart toothbrushes and oral health trackers, schools can strategically design interventions tailored to individual needs, foster the adoption of superior oral hygiene practices, and proactively mitigate dental issues among their student body. Keywords: Data Analytics, Internet of Things (IoT), Oral Health, Schools, Dental Hygiene, Student Health, Preventive Care.

“…Paper [12] proposed a method to estimate the recovery index for fatigue based on halitosis collecting by a smart toothbrush with a halitosis sensor while people are brushing their teeth. Paper [13] designed a computer-assisted toothbrushing system using a toothbrushing instruction (TBI) method called the smart toothbrush and smart mirror (STM) system to instruct users to brush their teeth more effectively. Paper [14] discusses the benefits of smart toothbrushes.…”

The goal of this study is to help people to monitor brushing process to maintain their oral quality by providing real-time feedback. In this research, a low-cost toothbrushing monitoring system of brushing regions and brushing force using multimodal sensors and Unity is proposed for toothbrushing quality monitoring. An inertial sensor attached to the handle of a toothbrush and Random Forester Classifier (RFC) model were used to estimate brushing regions; five force sensors clipped on the toothbrush and Random Forest Regression (RFR) model were used to estimate brushing force; a visual interface based on Unity was designed to display detection results in real-time. For brushing region detection, the results show that offline verification accuracy is 97.6%, and average accuracy of online detection method is 74.0%. For brushing force detection, 5 subjects were invited to participate in experiment on both User Dependent (UD) and User Independent (UI). The results show that average Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) is 22.08g for UD experiment; average RMSE is 37.06g for UI experiment. For this 3D brushing monitoring system, 20 subjects were invited to participate in usability experiment. The results show that 3D brushing monitoring system of this research has good usability, performance, and user satisfaction.INDEX TERMS 3D brushing monitoring system, multimodal sensors, machine learning, Random Forest algorithm, Unity.
