Oral Hygiene Game that makes Kids Brush Teeth Better

With the help of a computerised toothbrush - when children brush using the system, the toothbrush's LEDs get mapped via webcam onto a representation of a mouth, which then shows kids which teeth have already been brushed and which teeth need more cleaning.
The kids using the system were "twice as effective at cleaning their teeth following the trial."
