Will dental monitoring change orthodontics?  6 MINUTE SUMMARY


Listen Later

Join me for a summary looking at remote monitoring in orthodontic clinical practice, and if it can improve, quicken and enhance orthodontic clinical practice. This podcast is based on an excellent webinar by Jonathan Sandler and Juan Carlos Varela, as part of the Angle-net webinar series. I discuss how Dental Monitoring works, the proposed advantages and a review of the emerging research on this innovation in orthodontics. 

What is Dental Monitoring?

  • AI software which assesses occlusal and dental changes through a series of intra-oral photographs taken by the patient using their smartphone 

  • How does it work?

    • Upload STL / digital study model

    • Ai segmentation of teeth which maps digital study model to the photos

    • Aligner fit analysis:

      • Discrepancy between tooth surface and aligner fit 

      • Either proceed, continue wear or see clinician

      • Fixed appliances 

        • Assess rate of movement and schedule appointment

        • Other proposed benefits

          • Oral hygiene assessment

          • Breakages

          • Retention changes

          • What do patients think of it?

            Patients attitudes to remote monitoring

            • 81% interested in reducing number of appointments due to telemonitoring – Dalessandri 2021

            • 25% of patients found scans difficult to perform, with duration of scan 2-17 minutes Hansa 2020

            • Does it reduce appointments and make treatment quicker? Sangalli 2024

              • Decrease the number of in-office visits by 1.68–3.5 visits 

              • No difference in treatment duration 

              • No statistical reduction in emergency appointments

              • Are treatment outcome better (aligners)? 

                • No difference in tooth movements  Hansa 2021

                • No difference in number of refinements  Hansa 2021

                  • PAR changes – no difference in quality of outcomes Jarad Marks 2024

                  • Is oral health better? 

                    • DM reduced plaque scores Costi 2019

                    • 31% Improved hygiene  Manzo white paper

                    • Other innovations with remote monitoring?

                      Remote STL files

                      • Scan taken without patient attending the practice 

                      • Scanbox 

                      • Formulate STL file and fit aligner in surgery

                      • Is Dental Monitoring accurate? Ferlito 2022

                        • 80% repeatability from 2 scans

                        • 44.7% repeatability and reproducibility 

                        • Discrepancy between scanbox and intra-oral scan varied between 0.5-1.9mm, angular measurements maximum error 8.9 degrees

                        • Conclusion

                          • 2-3 appointments less

                          • No difference in overall duration

                          • Some people struggle to use

                          • Accuracy and repeatability variable

                          • No difference in the quality of the outcome

                          • Areas which are of concern

                            • Unknown accuracy of occlusal assessments from a reliable retruded contact position

                            • Patient motivation maybe better delivered in person

                            • Ai environment cost 2-3% of energy used by data centres

                            • Other ways to reduce time?

                              • Diagnostic and treatment planning acumen

                              • Identify main aspect of malocclusion and address through efficient mechanics
