Mouthguard-Type Wearable Sensor for Monitoring Salivary Turbidity to Assess Oral Hygiene

Salivary turbidity is a promising indicator for evaluating oral hygiene. This study proposed a wearable mouthguard-type sensor for continuous and unconstrained measurement of salivary turbidity. The sensor evaluated turbidity by measuring the light transmittance of saliva with an LED and a phototran...
