Exploring The Internet Of Things In Dental Field-New Perspectives

Abstract

A revolutionary approach to oral healthcare is presented by the combination of wireless sensors with the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) and the nascent Internet of Dental Things (IoDT). The applications of sensor technology in dentistry are examined in this study with an emphasis on disease management, prevention, and individualized care. The use of intraoral sensors for the early identification of oral cancer, the tracking of salivary biomarkers, and the monitoring of vital signs are important topics of discussion. The ability of non-invasive electrochemical sensors to monitor metabolites and electrolytes in bodily fluids is highlighted, as this can provide important information on general health and well-being. The monitoring of ailments like heart disease, sleep apnea, and Parkinson's disease is discussed in relation to wearable sensors, which allow for early symptom detection and individualized treatment plans. Furthermore, the application of edge computing technology is examined in light of its contribution to improving data security and processing efficiency. The study highlights how sensor technology has the potential to completely transform the way oral healthcare is delivered by providing patients and healthcare professionals with tailored treatment plans and actionable findings. Keywords: intraoral sensors, electrochemical sensors, wearable sensors, edge computing, oral healthcare, disease management, preventive, individualized treatment, wireless sensors, Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), and Internet of Dental Things (IoDT).
