SAN DIEGO—Utilizing machine-learning technology and artificial intelligence, a new Planmeca service offering has been announced designed to help the daily work of orthodontic practitioners worldwide.
 
During the 2017 AAO Annual Session, Planmeca and CephX Technologies announced the launch of an automatic cephalometric tracing and analysis service for Planmeca Romexis dental imaging software. Available soon, the service allows Planmeca’s Romexis dental imaging software access to CephX’s AlgoCeph algorithm—an application of artificial intelligence and machine learning technology based on thousands of manually traced cephalometric images, through a few simple clicks.
 
The integration of AlgoCeph into Planmeca Romexis software streamlines orthodontic practitioners’ work. After image capturing in the software is completed, an automatic cephalometric analysis can be ordered with a few clicks and received in a matter of seconds.

The service can also be used online from a website which has been designed for Planmeca users who have yet to upgrade to the new Planmeca Romexis software version 4.6.

“Machine learning technology has tremendous potential in the world of radiology,” said Ville Salonen, product manager, Planmeca Digital imaging and applications. “We are very excited to help our customers save time and focus on patient treatment by offering them access to such a pioneering service. The future of orthodontics is now just one click away!”

Dentists and orthodontists who study skeletal relationships in the craniofacial complex commonly use cephalometric analysis. It also has many other uses such as predicting future changes, monitoring the success of ongoing treatment plans, evaluating a patient’s dentofacial proportions and assisting doctors in the recognition of abnormalities. For these reasons, cephalometric analysis is crucial when developing and evaluating proper treatment plans for patients.
 
“The world of orthodontics is evolving rapidly, as it provides patients continuous improvements in care,” said Daniel Abraham, chairman of CephX Technologies LTD. “Our first priority has always been to help practitioners focus on that—providing them with peace of mind regarding their cephalometric analyses. This is also the main reason we have teamed up with Planmeca and incorporated AlgoCeph technology into the Planmeca Romexis software. We are proud to be able to deliver what I believe is a substantial market revolution. We look forward to providing many more beneficial innovations in the near future based on this technology and cooperation.”
