Sentence examples for robot plaque from inspiring English sources

The second step was the comparison of clinical and robot plaque removal efficacy and the statistical approval whether the two data sets do correlate to declare the robot clinically validated.

It could provide tiny robots to go into blood vessels and clean out plaque -- or microscopic robots that could kill instead of heal, and in ways far more predictable and precise than anything envisioned in germ warfare.

It was, therefore, the aim to demonstrate correlation of tooth cleaning efficiency of a new robot brushing simulation technique with clinical plaque removal.

The results of OLS-estimation of residual plaque in clinical and robot study agree in the main results: The type of brushing movement is insignificant for the extent of residual plaque.

The total plaque removal efficacy of robot toothbrushing was significantly higher compared to clinical toothbrushing using the same test brushes, the same brushing movements and force and assessing the same teeth.

However, the number of significant differences in mean values of residual plaque between subjects and robot did not change, therefore, all 9 planimetrical fields per tooth site were included to calculate summary statistics of the plaque measurements for validation purposes only.

To ensure equal consistency and thickness of the simulated plaque-film a special second robot was developed to cover the teeth and dry the substrate automatically.

To deal with the inhomogeneity of the sample values (n = 27, n = 14) a modification of the t-test (SATTERTHWAITE-WELCH-Test) was used to calculate the mean values of residual plaque between the subjects and the robot.

Nevertheless, the significant index differences robot vs. subjects were rather small given the planimetrical plaque index values per tooth site of max 9.00 (all fields exhibit residual plaque) and min 0.00 (no one field does exhibit residual plaque).

Tomorrow's cardiologist could be a tiny robot doing the Australian crawl through your arteries, looking for plaque.

The first step was the standardization of most recommended toothbrush movements of a common brushing force and brushing time and of a sensitive planimetrical plaque assessment index system applicable in the clinical and robot setting.
