Artificial Intelligence in Orthodontic Smart Application for Treatment Coaching and Its Impact on Clinical Performance of Patients Monitored with AI-TeleHealth System

Abstract

Background: Treatment of malocclusion with clear removable appliances like Invisalign® or Spark™, require considerable higher level of patient compliance when compared to conventional fixed braces. The clinical outcomes and treatment efficiency strongly depend on the patient’s discipline. Smart treatment coaching applications, like strojCHECK® are efficient for improving patient compliance. Purpose: To evaluate the impact of computerized personalized decision algorithms responding to observed and anticipated patient behavior implemented as an update of an existing clinical orthodontic application (app). Materials and Methods: Variables such as (1) patient app interaction, (2) patient app discipline and (3) clinical aligner tracking evaluated by artificial intelligence system (AI) system—Dental monitoring® were observed on the set of 86 patients. Two 60-day periods were evaluated; before and after the app was updated with decision tree processes. Results: All variables showed significant improvement after the update except for the manifestation of clinical non-tracking in men, evaluated by artificial intelligence from video scans. Conclusions: Implementation of application update including computerized decision processes can significantly enhance clinical performance of existing health care applications and improve patients’ compliance. Using the algorithm with decision tree architecture could create a baseline for further machine learning optimization.

Human Remains Identification Using Micro-CT, Spectroscopic and A.I. Methods in Forensic Experimental Reconstruction of Dental Patterns After Concentrated Acid Significant Impact

“…In field of forensic radiology, a specific algorithm can be created which further helps to identify distinct microscopic characteristics forming an array of specific features in the 3D space that would represent a new form of AI -identified dental patterns hardly comprehensible with a human brain. AI is advancing in the field of dental radiology and will bring a paradigm shift within the next decade [7,9,[35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46].…”

“…AI is currently underestimated in the implementations in forensic anthropology, dentistry, radiology and chemistry. It will undoubtedly shift the paradigm in this area [7,35,38,45,[53][54][55][56][57][58][59].…”

Dentistry after Omicron variant: Introducing a New Biosafety Protocol in Prevention of COVID-19 in Dental Care

“…There are other complementary technologies we have introduced for our workflow:  AI video-scan evaluation (common checkups rendered obsolete) -Dental Monitoring  custom made IOS/Android app coaching the proper habits -StrojCHECK [4]  3D printed aerosol vacuum pump ending, that supports aerosol dispersion during dental procedures and other customized 3D printing allowing more…”

“…Through the last two years, dental professionals were adaptable and smart to anticipate the risks of the incoming change. Since the appearance of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causing disease (COVID- 19) the biosafety measures at the dental offices have been revised repeatedly in effort to protect the patients and healthcare workers [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10].…”

“…Such an app allows better remote management of the patient and possible reduction of the frequency for visits in the dental office. The application educates and motivates the patient to behave responsibly [4]. For example, the app provides motivation and coaching for more frequent cleaning of teeth and aligners and in general it approved the patient compliance.…”
