Method for manufacturing interdental cleaning device

Provided is a method for manufacturing an interdental cleaning device (1) including a base portion (10) having a handle portion (11) and a core portion (12); and a soft portion (20) having a cleaning soft portion (21), a non-slip portion (22), and connecting portions (23) extending from two sites of the non-slip portion (22) and being connected to the cleaning soft portion (21). The method includes causing a second gate (49) of second molds (40) and (41) for molding the soft portion (20) to open at a position substantially equally distant from positions of two communicating openings (48a) of a non-slip molding space (47) for molding the non-slip portion (22), the two communicating openings (48a) communicating with connecting portion molding spaces (48) for molding the connecting portions (23); and charging the elastomeric material from the second gate (49) into a second molding space (42) for molding the soft portion (20) to fill the molding space (42).. ...

Automatic detection of teeth clenching and/or teeth grinding

The present disclosure provides a computer implemented method for automatic detection of teeth clenching and/or teeth grinding in a dataset representing the level of biting force vs. Time of a subject, the method comprising the steps of a) calculating a threshold level of biting force assigned to time t=t1 based on a background level determined from the dataset at a prior time t=t1−tback, where ttrack is a first predefined period of time,b) checking the level of biting,and if the level of biting force at time,t, exceeds the threshold level assigned to time t for a second predefined period of time, tclench/grind, then assigning an event of teeth clenching to time t,c) if an event of teeth clenching has been assigned to time t, then either waiting a predefined period of time 10 twait,or waiting until the level of biting is below the threshold for another predefined period of time tend, d) if no events of teeth clenching and/or teeth grinding have been assigned for a third predefined period of time tsilence, then repeating steps a)-c),e)if events of teeth clenching and/or teeth grinding have been assigned for a third predefined period of time tsilence, then repeating only steps b)-c).. ...
