Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of data processing technology, specifically to a method and system for early warning of dental caries based on oral health detection. Background Technology
[0002] Oral health is a crucial component of overall health, directly impacting people's quality of life and overall well-being. Dental caries, the most common oral disease, not only causes tooth pain and functional loss but can also trigger systemic health problems such as cardiovascular disease. Therefore, developing a precise and efficient oral health detection system is essential for the early detection and prevention of dental caries. Current detection technologies often face limitations in identifying caries risk, requiring breakthroughs to improve preventative effectiveness. Existing methods typically rely on traditional dental examinations, such as X-ray imaging or visual examination, which are insufficient for detecting early caries. X-ray imaging has low sensitivity to early enamel demineralization, making it difficult to capture minute lesions, while visual examination heavily relies on the dentist's experience, easily leading to missed or misdiagnosed cases due to subjective judgment. Furthermore, existing methods often fail to comprehensively assess a patient's oral environment and lifestyle habits, resulting in a lack of personalized risk assessments and hindering effective guidance for preventative measures. Technically, the core challenge of detection systems lies in accurately quantifying key indicators within the oral cavity. The degree of enamel demineralization, as an early signal of caries formation, is difficult to accurately capture through conventional methods due to its subtle changes. While fluorescence detection technology shows promise in identifying demineralization lesions, its adaptability to the complex oral environment is insufficient. For example, interference from saliva flow or uneven tooth surface can affect detection accuracy. Furthermore, the results of enamel demineralization assessment need to be analyzed in conjunction with dynamic factors such as the patient's salivary buffering capacity and dietary habits. Integrating this multi-source data into a unified assessment system has become another key technical bottleneck. There is a close relationship between the two: accurate demineralization detection is fundamental, but only by combining it with personalized oral environment data can a comprehensive risk assessment be achieved.
[0003] Therefore, how to accurately detect the degree of enamel demineralization in a complex oral environment and effectively integrate the test results with patients' personalized oral physiology and lifestyle data to form a dynamic and accurate caries risk assessment has become a key issue that this study urgently needs to address.
