Oral Health Recommender System (oHRS) For Promoting Oral Self-Care (Case No. 2023-278)
Intro Sentence: UCLA researchers in the department of dentistry developed a system to promote and enhance at-home oral hygiene practices. Background: Dental disease is a chronic illness caused by inadequate and improper oral self-care behaviors. This condition contributes to gum disease, tooth decay, and eventual tooth loss. Traditional oral hygiene...
