Automatic stitching of a 3D segmented CBCT with an IOS file!
All you need to do is upload the DICOM and IOS files to our system and the AI will automatically create a superior image that combines the best of both worlds – the accuracy of the intraoral scans embedded on a detailed root/skeletal anatomy provided by the CBCT. The meshed STL files can also be exported to most planning software packages for final treatment planning.
Check out our updated user friendly 3D viewer for better visualization, and improved treatment planning.
Upgrade your package to one of our 3D plans and enable Improved patient treatment outcomes, faster treatment times, and easy collaboration.

Our latest upgrades:

The meshing of intraoral scans with DICOM segmentation marks the next level in the planning of clear aligners and indirect bonding. With this advanced technology, you can confidently plan the teeth movement with utmost accuracy, while reducing the risk for root collision.

Experience our user-friendly 3D viewer for yourself!

With our “Clip Scene” feature, you can view a 3D segmentation of the teeth and surrounding structures from different angles (coronal, Sagittal, Axial), helping you identify potential issues such as overcrowding, misalignment, or impacted teeth.

The “Measure Distance” feature is incredibly useful for measuring the distance between individual teeth or the teeth and the jawbone.

Use the “Measure Distance” feature to take measurements.

Another new feature in our 3D viewer- a high-quality video of the segmentation, which can be helpful for communication with patients, other dental professionals, or insurance providers. You can download the segmentation as a PDF report or JPEG image for a comprehensive record of the patient’s treatment progress.

Use the video feature to communicate treatment progress.

Improve your diagnosis and treatment plans with our advanced AI-based tools. Upgrade to one of our 3D plans now.

We are pleased to announce the release of some new Cephx updates and features

  1. CephX | AI Driven Dental Services

Cephx enables you to trace your cephalometric tracing more quickly, manage your time more efficiently, and improve the treatment planning process.
We are pleased to inform you on new updates and features. These include a significant improvements to our 2D cephalometric superimposition tool, more tracing options with fully automated tracing or manual override and a new Profilogram analysis.

Superimposition

Cephx’s web-based superimposition features have been upgraded to a new level with an advanced interface.

The layout has been updated, and you can now customize each individual ceph according to your preferences.

In addition, we now offer our clients the ability to superimpose more than two cephalometric radiographs and easily follow up on the patient’s treatment.

In order to make the process more convenient, we provide the ability to edit the Cephalometric x-rays directly from one location.

Compared to our previous version, our customers now enjoy the following benefits:

  • Stages can be edited and customized with enhanced editing features.
  • The scale of specific x-rays can be adjusted in order to easily compare it to other stages.
  • Selection of one of the multiple alignment options, or a customized alignment for personalization of the alignment.
  • New default alignment – FH@S (aligning FH plane according to Sella point) option has been added to the list.
  • Updated report – the new report consists of three sections: full face, maxilla, and mandible. All three are fully customized and can be saved with various default view options. Simply save the customized layout as your default report.

Superimposition report

Fully automated tracing or manual override

With our latest update, you can now decide whether you wish to have your cephalometric image reviewed by an expert or edit it yourself.

Our AI algorithms can trace over 95% of cases within a few seconds, but some results require manual revision by our team. Reasons for revisions can be poor image quality, obscured landmarks, or missing calibration rulers.

Now you have the option of editing the ceph manually or submitting it to our professional team for review, whichever is most convenient for you.

New Profilogram analysis

Utilize the New Profilogram analysis to examine the growth of facial patterns. This analysis will allow you to examine facial patterns according to the Profilogram norms based on age and gender. Easily superimpose with Profilograms to compare the relationship of two-stage cephs.

Register now to Cephx AI instant cephalometric tracing and analysis.

Journal of Clinical Orthodontics (JCO): “The Diagnostic Advantage of a CBCT-Derived Segmented STL Rendition of the Teeth and Jaws Using an AI Algorithm”

  1. CephX | AI Driven Dental Services

We are proud to share this JCO article by Chen Lewit Borohovitz DMD, Zeev Abraham BDS, MS and W. Ronald Redmond DDS, MS. 

The article focuses on the diagnostic advantage of CBCT-derived teeth and jaws segmentation using AI.
It discusses how artificial intelligence can improve treatment outcomes, patient communication and treatment plans, and why the full segmentation of the teeth,
the bones, and the mandibular nerve can contribute to detecting different types of risks and damages to the teeth.

The article demonstrates the capabilities of visualizing virtual extraction of obstructing and overlying teeth and how that has changed the perspective of orthodontics.
It discusses how advanced AI technology provides better management of impactions and why transforming CBCT DICOM file into an STL model allows for better treatment planning.

The helpful information that can be obtained from segmentation of a CBCT scan allows us to see each tooth as an individual and examine it closer.
In addition, it offers a 360-degree visualization of the patients’ teeth.
Generally, AI technology assists in performing time-consuming tasks that are impossible to accomplish manually.

(The article uses the Cephx.com web viewer to visualize the treatment planning of two case studies).

ORCA Dental AI and Planmeca Oy Partner for New Technology

  1. CephX | AI Driven Dental Services

ORCA Dental AI, a provider of dental artificial-intelligence (AI) technologies for automatic diagnostics, analysis and treatment planning, and Planmeca Oy, a leading provider of dental imaging solutions, announced today a new partnership to bring artificial-intelligence products that enable instant teeth segmentation and structure identification to the market for the first time. The new partnership further extends the existing integration between the companies, allowing customers to receive automatic, AI-driven cephalometric analyses.

Following the success of ORCA’s solution for AI-driven cephalometric analysis, the company expanded its scope to additional dental fields and is focusing on building three AI engines for orthodontics, implants and diagnostics.

As part of this new partnership, ORCA’s first solution automates the important process of teeth segmentation in CBCT scans. By automatically segmenting teeth and bone in seconds, ORCA provides information about every tooth, root inclination, impacted tooth position and supernumerary. Automating the process saves more than an hour per case and enables an array of new applications.

The second solution automates dental structure identification, instantly providing identification of the mandibular panoramic curve, the maxilla curve and tracing of the nerve canal.

“Root inclination diagnosis during orthodontic treatment is just one of the many applications our technology enables, as clear aligners grow in popularity to cover more complex cases,” says Daniel Abraham, ORCA’s founder and president. “Our technology bridges the knowledge and experience gaps and enables labs and practitioners to use real root information. There are many more use cases in orthodontics and prosthodontics. We are certain that Planmeca’s decision to lead the market by once again embedding our technology in its software will enable its customers to enjoy new tools and unmatched efficiency.”

“Planmeca’s extensive tradition of introducing new technologies makes AI-powered tools a logical next step for us, as they have great potential to transform the way in which digital dentistry is performed on a day-to-day basis,” states Helianna Puhlin-Nurminen, Planmeca Vice President of Digital Imaging and Applications. “ORCA Dental AI has convinced us of their ability to be an important partner in this process and we are looking forward to integrating new automated tools into our Planmeca Romexis software platform. This will provide users of our products with valuable and immediate information on each digital orthodontic, surgical and implant planning case – making treatments more efficient, accurate and clinically feasible.”
