FDA clears AI-powered Denti.AI Auto-Chart

Denti.AI Auto-Chart, an AI-powered software developed by Denti.AI, has become the first and currently only dental auto-charting product cleared by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), said the company in a press release.

The device can assist dental professionals in interpreting intraoral and extraoral 2D x-ray images by detecting and numbering teeth and missing teeth.

It also aids in detecting dental structures added through past restorative treatment, including implants, crowns, pontics, endodontic treatment, and fillings, as well as their attributes, such as affected surfaces.

Complementary AI solutions

Denti.AI Auto-Chart’s imaging-based odontogram charting is said to complement Denti.AI Voice, which is designed to improve the speed and accuracy of perio charting.

According to the press release, the Denti.AI Auto-Chart integrates directly into any Practice Management System (PMS) and Imaging software systems. Denti.AI Auto-Chart produces complete patient charts by automating the entire data entry process.

The FDA determined that the results of Denti.AI Auto-Chart exceeded the predefined acceptance criteria and demonstrated a 70% reduction in time and effort required to create dental charts, said the press release.

Easier to work off templates

“This is a breakthrough for the field as one of the first users of Denti.AI Auto-Chart,” said Dr Slazcka, “I believe tooth numbering and existing charting is a huge hassle for staff.

“With Denti.AI Auto-Chart, even at 80% accuracy, it is much easier for them to take a template and work off corrections rather than inputting all variables.”

“We are thrilled to offer this product that makes dentists’ and hygienists’ lives easier and improves their productivity and outcomes for the patients,” said Denti.AI founder and CEO Dmitry Tuzoff.

“With Denti.AI Voice, we changed the way perio charts are created, and everyone has asked us about odontogram charting, so now Auto-Chart will provide a significant and long-awaited addition to the dental professionals’ automation toolkit.”

The Denti.AI founders’ research paper, Tooth Detection and Numbering in Panoramic Radiographs Using Convolutional Neural Networks, Dentomaxillofacial Radiology, 2019, is purportedly one of the top ten most-cited academic papers for AI in dentistry worldwide.
