Unveiling Complex Orthodontics: How AI Transforms Diagnosis and Treatment Planning
We’re excited to share a compelling case study that showcases the power of CephX AI technology in complex orthodontic scenarios. This highlights how our advanced 3D imaging and AI-driven analysis can significantly enhance your diagnostic capabilities and treatment planning.
Case Study: Unerupted Teeth in Mixed Dentition
A recent case, demonstrates the effectiveness of our AI-powered 3D segmentation and visualization tools.
Patient Profile:
- 42-year-old with mixed dentition
- Developed but unerupted canines and premolars in both jaws
- Fully formed roots of 12 unerupted teeth, correctly positioned relative to deciduous teeth
- Nearly fully erupted upper second molars
- Unerupted lower second molars despite sufficient arch space
- Horizontally impacted lower third molars with unformed roots
Preview the case in 3D View
Key Observations:
The examination revealed that the lower third molars were impacted into the roots of the second molars. Additionally, these impacted third molars were found to be in close proximity to the mandibular nerve, a critical consideration for treatment planning and potential surgical interventions.
How CephX AI Provided Crucial Insight for This Case
- Rapid 3D Visualization: cephX’s AI-powered technology quickly generated detailed 3D models, allowing for a comprehensive view of the complex mixed dentition case.
- Precise Tooth Segmentation: CephX AI accurately segmented individual teeth, enabling clear visualization of unerupted canines, premolars, and impacted third molars.
- Root Analysis: The AI-generated STL files provided a detailed view of each tooth separately, important for assessing root formation and positioning.
- Nerve Proximity Detection: cephX’s AI algorithms helped identify the proximity of the lower third molars to the mandibular nerve, a critical factor in treatment planning.
- Efficient Diagnosis: The analysis significantly reduced the time required for diagnosis, allowing for quicker treatment planning.
- Better Patient Communication: The detailed 3D visualizations facilitated an easier explanation of the complex dental situation to the patient.
By leveraging CephX’s AI-powered orthodontic solutions, you can elevate your diagnostic accuracy, optimize treatment planning, and ultimately improve patient outcomes. Our commitment to innovation in AI and deep learning continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in orthodontic care.
