Artificial intelligence in orthodontics

About the Book: One of the best dental specialities is orthodontics which focusses mostly on malocclusion diagnosis prevention and correction. The craniofacial skeleton is the primary focus with a greater emphasis on altering the dentoalveolar structures. Accurate diagnosis and treatment planning are considered as a key to the success of orthodontic treatment. Orthodontic diagnosis is mainly based on the patient''s dental and medical history clinical examination study models and cephalometric radiographs. Over the past 25 years there has been a substantial increase in the use of information technology (IT) in the dental industry which has helped to lower costs save time depending on human expertise and prevent medical errors. Artificial Intelligence(AI) technology has been a game-changer in the healthcare industry in recent years and its use in orthodontics has increased dramatically as well. Al is an excellent diagnostic and treatment planning tool for orthodontists. It can be applied from the very beginning of the treatment. Automation reduces treatment expenses while speeding up diagnosis and treatment processes. In addition to helping identify landmarks a well-trained artificial intelligence (Al) model can assist with various linear angular and volumetric measurements. This can greatly reduce measurement time allowing researchers to concentrate on finding new clinical insights.
