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.”

CephX announced today that the United States Patent and Trademark Office granted CephX their first patent, which automates cephalometric tracing process and enables immediate analysis using machine learning and AI technology. The issuance of this patent is a major and considerable leap to the entire dental orthodontic industry.

Cephalometric analysis is commonly used by dentists and orthodontists to study skeletal relationships in the craniofacial complex during patients’ orthodontic pre-treatment process. Cephalometric analyses can also be used to evaluate a patient’s dentofacial proportions, and help dentists recognize abnormalities, predict future changes, and assess the success of ongoing treatment plans.

CephX’s ground-breaking solution was developed by the company and can produce full and high accuracy cephalometric analysis. It came as an answer to the orthodontic industry, as the annotation of the dozens of landmarks of interest on cephalometric radiograph images is time-consuming.

This patented technology automatically detects anatomical landmarks on a cephalometric x-ray image, incorporates this method in a real-time system and process for generating cephalometric analyses. The outcome is a full and precise cephalometric analysis within merely 3 seconds, and includes a convenient access to an online cloud-based service which may be used from any mobile or desktop device.

“Our first patent is an important step in our evolving portfolio of patented dental algorithms that are capable of changing the way dentistry will be diagnosed and executed,” said Daniel Abraham, Founder and President of CephX. “We are confident that CephX’s expanding intellectual property estate, including this newly issued patent, will make a change in the effectiveness and success associated with orthodontic treatment. This is particularly important as our vision is a world where dental diagnostics, visual treatment suggestions and pathology findings are immediately and seamlessly performed.”

“We’re excited that our hard work continues to receive validation with the granting of this latest patent, and we look forward to continuing adding new solutions that could serve dental practitioners worldwide,” Abraham added.

CephX has partnered with the leading dental imaging manufacturers and top market players across the entire dental value chain, including Dentsply Sirona, Cefla and Planmeca.
