【DentAI Brushie App】

"Our mission is to make brushing more enjoyable and help children develop effective, independent oral hygiene habits." Driven by their concern for children’s oral health and commitment to giving back to the community, a student team comprising five Year 3 Bachelor of Dental Surgery students from the University of Hong Kong, Haileys Chan, Felicia Chong, Yenny Chong, Aston Ip, and Kelvin Nie, conceived to develop DentAI Brushie, a mobile application that uses artificial intelligence to provide real-time toothbrushing guidance.

With an ordinary toothbrush and a smartphone installed with DentAI Brushie, children can receive engaging and interactive toothbrushing training. According to a survey conducted by the team, around 85% of parents felt that their children’s toothbrushing effectiveness was not satisfactory. Through real-time guidance, gamified elements, and brushing reports, the team hopes to help children build better brushing habits.

The team’s vision and innovative efforts were recognised with funding support from the Global Hub for Future Dentistry (GHFD), enabling them to further develop the app concept into a practical product. Jointly developed by HKU Faculty of Dentistry, in collaboration with HKU Techno-Entrepreneurship Core (HKU TEC), and Hong Kong Science & Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP), the initiative is dedicated to driving dental innovation, entrepreneurship, research translation, and commercialisation.

Professor James Tsoi, Director of GHFD cm Assistant Dean (Innovation) at the HKU Faculty of Dentistry, shared, "The GHFD is committed to support promising dental innovation projects and to translate ideas into practical applications. We warmly invite aspiring students and teams to join us in shaping the future of dentistry."

「我們希望透過科技,讓刷牙變得更有趣,並幫助兒童建立有效而自主的口腔衛生習慣。」由陳姵彤、莊馥菱、莊颺菱、葉尚衡,以及聶均鑫,五位香港大學牙醫本科三年級學生組成的學生團隊,本著對兒童口腔健康的關顧和回饋社會的初衷,共同構思研發一款利用人工智能提供實時刷牙指導的手機應用程式 — DentAI Brushie。兒童只需使用普通牙刷及已下載DentAI Brushie的智能手機,便可得到趣味十足的互動式刷牙訓練。根據團隊調查顯示,約 85% 家長認為子女刷牙效果未如理想。為此,他們透過手機應用程式內的實時指導、遊戲化元素及刷牙報告,希望幫助兒童建立更獨立自主、更有效的刷牙習慣。

團隊的設計初心與創新的努力,最終獲得了牙創匯的資助肯定,可利用撥款進一步將這個應用程式的構思轉化成實際產品。牙創匯是香港及大灣區首個牙科創新培育計劃,由香港大學牙醫學院、香港大學創新創業中心及香港科技園公司共同策劃,致力推動牙科創新、創業、研究轉化及商業化。牙創匯總監兼港大牙醫學院助理院長(創新)徐傑漢教授表示:「牙創匯致力支援具潛力的牙科創新項目,將想法轉化為實際應用。我們誠邀有志的學生和團隊加入,攜手開創牙科未來。」

【Advance Shape-Adaptive Hydrogel for Complex Trauma Reconstruction】A research team from HKU Dentistry, in collaboration with Professor Su Ryon Shin’s group at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, has advanced and preclinically validated a novel shape-adaptive hydrogel, named iHEÄLS, for complex trauma reconstruction. The findings were published in Advanced Materials.

Led by Professor Sang Jin Lee, Assistant Professor in Biofunctional Materials from the Division of Applied Oral Sciences and Community Dental Care at HKU Dentistry, the HKU team further developed and validated the hydrogel’s potential clinical applications, particularly for complex craniomaxillofacial trauma involving severe bleeding, irregular bone defects and comminuted fractures. Inspired by the malleability of Play-Doh, iHEÄLS can be shaped to fit irregular anatomical defects while providing rapid haemostasis, strong tissue adhesion, self-healing capability and mechanical resilience.

【推動形狀適應性水凝膠用於複雜創傷重建】港大牙醫學院研究團隊與哈佛醫學院布萊根婦女醫院(Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School)Su Ryon Shin教授團隊合作,進一步推進並完成一種名為 iHEÄLS 的形狀適應性水凝膠的臨床前驗證,用於複雜創傷重建。研究成果已於國際學術期刊《先進材料》發表。

港大研究團隊由港大牙醫學院應用口腔科學及社區牙醫護理部生物功能材料學助理教授Sang Jin Lee教授領導,進一步開發並驗證該水凝膠於複雜顱頜面創傷的潛在臨床應用,尤其針對嚴重出血、不規則骨缺損及粉碎性骨折等具挑戰性的情況。受Play-Doh可塑性啟發,iHEÄLS可按不規則解剖缺損塑形及貼合,同時具備快速止血、強效組織黏附、自行修復能力及良好機械韌性。詳情請查閱新聞稿:https://facdent.hku.hk/news/press-release/2026/20261015/index-tc.php

【HKU Impact Award 2026】Congratulations to Professor Chun Hung Chu, our Chair Professor of Family Dentistry, on receiving the inaugural HKU Impact Award 2026! This new award recognises members of the HKU community who have successfully translated knowledge, research and innovative ideas into meaningful societal and economic impact. It highlights that the significance of innovation goes beyond technological breakthroughs, and can also improve public services, promote sustainable development, and enhance quality of life.

Professor Chu’s achievement highlights his outstanding contributions to advancing children’s oral health through research, clinical innovation, and community service. He pioneered the translation of Silver Diamine Fluoride research into a widely adopted, non-invasive approach to preventing childhood dental caries. Over the past two decades, his work has improved oral health outcomes for children and influenced public oral health policy in Hong Kong and beyond.

Led by Professor Chu, the HKU Faculty of Dentistry launched the Jockey Club Children Oral Health Programme in 2019 with the support of The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, by 2025, the programme had served nearly 180,000 children and delivered almost 390,000 non-invasive silver diamine fluoride treatments. The programme has contributed to a 9% drop in caries prevalence and a 27% reduction in the average number of decayed teeth among participating children, demonstrating how research can be translated into real-world impact. We are proud to see Professor Chu’s dedication and impactful work recognised at the University level. Congratulations again on this well-deserved honour.

【Love Teeth Day】Love Teeth Day is a community dental outreach initiative first launched in 2024 by the HKU Faculty of Dentistry, The Society of Preventive Dentistry of Hong Kong, and Project Concern Hong Kong, in collaboration with local District Health Centres. Over the past three years, this ongoing program has brought essential oral health services directly into local neighborhoods across Hong Kong.

This year, Dr Olivia Zhang, our Clinical Practitioner in the Division of Restorative Dental Sciences led our dedicated team of dentists and students, to host two successful service sessions in September and October. Working alongside the Sha Tin District Health Centre and Kowloon City District Health Centre, the team provided oral check-ups, fluoride applications, and dental health instructions to a total of 135 community members. Beyond delivering care, the outreach offers valuable hands-on learning and community connection. Hailey Chan and Sandy Ru, two BDS students expressed that participating in the initiative gave them a meaningful teamwork experience outside campus while strengthening their sense of social belonging.

Meanwhile, Joanna Hui, a postgraduate student shared that helping plan the program enhanced her project management skills and offered a deeper, more practical understanding of local community needs. We sincerely thank all our partner organisations, team members, and participating residents for their continued support. We look forward to working together to promote community oral health and bring healthy smiles to even more people!
