Data on toothbrushing study comparing infrared-based motion tracking versus video observation.


ABSTRACT: Investigations of toothbrushing habits are an important vector to understand their influence on brushing effectiveness. User compliance in toothbrushing is known to deviate from professional recommendations in brushing time, evenness across all areas of the dentition, and brushing force [1,2]. Despite the recent development of tools designed to guide users to optimised brushing habits [3,4], research on habit evaluation and tracking is limited and typically relies on labour-intensive video observation (VO) [5]. Here we present raw data on toothbrush position as determined by an automated motion tracking (MT) capability and by human VO and provide a technical description of the MT capability. The MT system described in this article was developed in collaboration with Soft2Tec GmbH (Rüsselsheim, Germany) as a potential substitute for the VO tool. The MT system consists of a monocular vision module and a target module with active infrared LED trackers. The MT system determined the position and orientation of a toothbrush relative to the jaw while subjects brushed under realistic conditions. For VO, a trained assessor coded video recording data from toothbrushing sessions. The data presented here describes a clinical study (103 subjects; 46 completed two sessions, 57 completed one session, altogether 149 events) comparing toothbrushing behaviour recorded with the MT system and with VO simultaneously. The raw data was deposited in Mendeley Data, under data identification number doi:10.17632/4f384xrbhm.1 [https://data.mendeley.com/datasets/4f384xrbhm/1].
