Oral Health Recommender System (oHRS) For Promoting Oral Self-Care (Case No. 2023-278)
Intro Sentence: UCLA researchers in the department of dentistry developed a system to promote and enhance at-home oral hygiene practices. Background: Dental disease is a chronic illness caused by inadequate and improper oral self-care behaviors. This condition contributes to gum disease, tooth decay, and eventual tooth loss. Traditional oral hygiene...

"Tooth on a chip"- A microfluidic device to test interactions of biomaterials with dental structures
Summary The development of novel dental biomaterials requires in vitro validation and cytotoxicity studies; however, research platforms that accurately emulate the oral environment, the interface between biomaterials with the tooth, and the underlying dental pulp, do not currently exist. This is traditionally done by exposing plated cells to eluents...
