An electric toothbrush includes a brush head at an end of a handle, an acceleration sensor and/or a rotation sensor that detect(s) movement parameters of the electric toothbrush, a wireless communication interface that wirelessly transmits recorded data comprising the detected movements parameters of the electric toothbrush in a processed state and receives treatment mode data for operating the electric toothbrush, a pressure sensor that detects a contact pressure applied by the brush head to teeth and/or gums, at least one first outputting device that visually outputs signals or commands in accordance with the detected contact pressure or in accordance with the detected movement parameters, and at least one second outputting device that haptically outputs signals or commands, in the form of vibrations, in accordance with the detected contact pressure or in accordance with the detected movement parameters.

Method for determining of movement patterns during a dental treatment

A heating device has a receiving space for holding water and a flexible wall. An inorganic phase change material for at least temporarily controlling a temperature of the water is disposed in the receiving space. The phase change material has a property of absorbing energy during an endothermic phase transition when warmed by the water and releasing energy in the form of heat during an exothermic phase transition. The phase change material may partially or completely undergo the endothermic phase transition when hot water is poured into the receiving space. The phase change material is disposed in a housing formed as a flexible film composed of a polymer material. An actuating means for triggering the exothermic phase transition is in fluid communication with the phase change material.

A multi-part safety closure for a hot-water bottle includes at least one closure part () having an external screw thread () for screwing into an internal screw thread of a hot-water bottle and having a first force transmission element () for transmitting force for screwing and unscrewing the closure part () into and out of, respectively, the internal screw thread of the hot-water bottle () to seal the bottle () in a water-tight manner; and a manual actuating element () having a second force transmission element () for transmitting to the closure part () the force required to screw and unscrew the closure part () into and out of, respectively, the internal screw thread (). The first force transmission element () and the second force transmission element () are configured such that the closure part () is operably connectable with the manual actuating element () in a detachable manner.

A method includes selecting a treatment mode displayed on a screen of a mobile phone or tablet PC, using a camera of the tablet PC or mobile phone to capture an image area containing (i) one or both pupils, the nose, eyebrows, eye hole, lips, ears, cheeks and/or chin of the person, and (ii) a toothbrush moving at least in an X-/Y-plane, and wirelessly receiving sensor data from the toothbrush in the mobile phone or tablet PC. The sensor data contains at least rotational movements and/or acceleration of the toothbrush captured by an acceleration sensor and/or a rotation sensor, disposed in or on the toothbrush. Thereafter, the method includes processing the sensor data in a processor, thereby generating processed sensor data, generating correction information based on the processed sensor data and the selected treatment mode, and displaying the correction information on the screen of the mobile phone or tablet PC.

Method for determining movement patterns during a dental treatment

While a toothbrush is moving in an X-/Y-plane relative to teeth of a person, a camera of a tablet PC or mobile phone captures an image area containing one or both pupils, the nose, eyebrows, eye hole, lips, ears, cheeks and/or chin of the person and the moving toothbrush. Rotational movements or acceleration of the toothbrush may be sensed by a sensor disposed in the toothbrush to generate sensor data. The sensor data is wirelessly transmitted from the toothbrush to the mobile phone or tablet PC, and the sensor data is processed. The resulting processed data is compared with movement pattern data or movement characteristics data stored in a database to generate comparison data, and correction parameters for adapting the movement of the toothbrush are determined based on the comparison data. Correction information is generated based on the correction parameters and displayed on a screen of the mobile phone or tablet PC.

The invention refers to a method for the at least partial determination of a movement pattern of a dental treatment means, in particular tooth cleaning, resulting during a dental treatment and comprises at least the steps: Moving the dental treatment means at least in a x-/y-plane for the treatment of surface parts of the teeth, wherein by means of an optical detection device data are recorded with respect to at least one motion parameter, in particular the movement direction or &#x2212;rotation, the acceleration, the path and/or the velocity, of the dental treatment means with respect to a reference system moving with the head of the treated person and providing the recorded data to a processor device for the determination of the movement pattern.
