  3. Problem Statement Periodontal disease affects over 50% of adults worldwide and is the leading cause of tooth loss. The current method for performing the sulcus depth measurement is a painful, inconsistent and lengthy process.

  4. Current Method

  5. Long Term Goal Develop a new method that is more consistent, less painful and less time consuming. Ultrasonic transducer

  6. 1st Generation Develop a test fixture to validate the use of an ultrasonic transducer to perform the sulcus depth measurement. • Tooth phantom • Test Fixture • Automated program

  7. Original Customer Needs

  8. Phantom Material Research • Relevant properties: acoustic impedance, density, speed of sound • Initial material selection: • Bone: brick • Dentin: concrete • Soft tissue: paraffin, polyurethane • Revised material selection: • Bone: aluminum • Soft tissue: rubber, fabric paint

  9. Phantom Design

  10. Mechanical- System Needs • Hold tooth phantom and transducer • Move through 5 axes • Accuracy to +/- 0.1mm and +/- 1 deg • Portable

  11. Mechanical

  12. 3 Linear Axes • Lead Screws • Anti-Backlash Nuts • Ball Bearings • Couplings

  13. Rotational Axes • Servo’s • Linear Bearings

  14. Challenges Faced • Misalignment • Machining quality • Positive location • Time • Miscommunication during manufacturing • Probe Holder • Spring mechanism

  15. Electrical System Description Programming Flowchart • Arduino UNO development board directly controlling 2 servo motors and indirectly controlling 3 stepper motors through EasyDriverMicroStep controllers. • Arduino analog to voltage converter interprets linear position of the stepper motors. • Programmatically captures data from the Oscilloscope then compares and logs it.

  16. Adapted Customer Needs

  17. Phantom Test Results

  18. Mechanical Test Results

  19. Linear Axes • All within spec

  20. Rotational Axes • Turn Table • Factor of two • Pitch Axis Possible Problems • Motor size/capability • Motor mount • Coupling

  21. Electrical Test Results

  22. Future Work • Ultrasonic transducer: • Higher frequency • Different type? • Phantom materials: baseline research • Representative sulcus

  23. Future Work Cont’d • Servo motors: mounting change (reduce angular torque) • Stepper motors: • Positional feedback system • Larger power supply • Wire harnesses
