Lumino Smiles dental take pride in cooperating Artificial intelligence (AI) as part of their dental treatment. The man-made devices and machines invention have undoubtedly made our dental treatment and planning easier. Artificial Intelligence can be used in various ways to improve dental care, this includes identifying abnormal teeth conditions, detecting dental caries on periapical or Bitewings X-ray images, dental implants planning and treatment, identification and classification of dental implant systems, detecting and classifying dental plaque and calculus, diagnosing maxillary sinusitis on panoramic radiography (OPG), and many more. (Vodanovic et al, 2023). 


How does Artificial intelligence apply in our clinic?

Itero 3D Scan: This type of AI can predict the progression of dental diseases, it can also detect cavities, calculus, gum recession and teeth movement changes with high accuracy. This can help us in early diagnosis and precise treatment planning. Furthermore, it can also be used for orthodontic treatments, allowing patients to see the simulation of the outcome before proceeding with the orthodontic treatment.  Additionally, using Itero scan can also help design custom aligners for patients, making sure it fits perfectly which is important for effective treatment. Using the Itero scan we can also manufacture dental crowns, bridges and implants. The high-level accuracy of this AI scan can help to capture small details to improve the fit and function of the tooth. 


Oral Cancer ID Screening: OralID is an optical based technology, also known as “fluorescence technology”. It is an advanced technology used to detect oral cancer, pre-cancer and other abnormalities in the oral cavity. Using their fluorescence technology lets us identify malignant and benign lesions that are not visible to the naked eye. with OralID, it is painless and non-invasive treatment that provides immediate results on the spot, allowing us to make quick decisions for our patients.  By detecting any abnormalities in the oral mucosa, it can help patients to receive prompt treatment that can lead to better clinical outcomes. 


PearlAI: PearlAI has an Artificial Intelligence system set in place to automatically detect numerous dental conditions in dental x-rays, this is called a Second Opinion. This AI helps to assist dental practitioners by giving second opinions to ensure that they have considered all the common conditions that appear in the patients' radiographs, ensuring that we do not miss any conditions that need to be treated. The AI is also part of preventative care where it can detect early signs of dental problems that may not be visible to the naked eye. With this technology, we can propose an early intervention and better outcomes for patients.
