Keystone Dental Launches Nexus Connect: AI-Enabled Chairside Implant Scan Analysis

USA: Keystone Dental Holdings, a leader in dental technology, has officially launched Nexus Connect, a groundbreaking software system set to redefine digital implant dentistry. This unique technology utilizes proprietary algorithms and machine learning to analyze implant scans performed with an intraoral scanner, providing clinicians with real-time chairside results.

Innovative Technology for Implant Scans

Nexus Connect employs proprietary 3D computer vision algorithms and geometric processing to analyze implant scans. The system is designed to detect Nexus Scan Gauges, calculate their positions, and ensure the accuracy of captured data for prosthetic design. The mathematical regression model, based on thousands of real-world cases, enables immediate scan data results at the source of capture, marking a significant advancement in the field.

Chairside Results for Clinicians

For the first time, implant clinicians can receive chairside results indicating the quality and accuracy of their digital implant scans. A successful result using Nexus Connect signifies that a prosthetic device manufactured by Osteon Medical, acquired by Keystone Dental in September 2021, will achieve a passive fit before production. The AI-enabled technology also provides feedback on how to improve the scan if it is unsuccessful, enhancing the overall efficiency of implant procedures.

Pioneering Paradigm Shift

Melker Nilsson, CEO of Keystone Dental, expressed pride in offering Nexus Connect globally, emphasizing the paradigm shift it brings to digital implant dentistry. Developed over a two-year period, Nexus Connect initially served as an engineering assessment tool and evolved into a sophisticated doctor-facing analyzer. The software is designed to help dentists ensure prosthetics fit patients accurately from the first attempt.

Clear Outcomes with Nexus Connect

Upon uploading a patient’s scans of 2.0 Scan gauges, dentists receive one of three outcomes: SUCCESS, CONSIDER RESCAN, or SCAN FAILURE. This intuitive system streamlines treatment cycles and improves predictability for dental practitioners, offering a transformative tool for chairside implant scan analysis.

In August 2023, Keystone Dental and Check-Cap Ltd. announced a definitive Business Combination Agreement. If completed, this merger will create a public company focused on advancing Keystone Dental’s comprehensive portfolio. The combined company will trade on NASDAQ under the symbol “KSD,” with Keystone Dental’s executive team leading the way.

About Check-Cap

Check-Cap, a clinical-stage medical diagnostics company, aims to redefine colorectal cancer screening through C-Scan®, a test designed to detect polyps before they transform into colorectal cancer. C-Scan is investigational and not available for sale in the United States. Keystone Dental’s proposed Business Combination Agreement with Check-Cap is poised to create a powerful entity at the forefront of dental technology and medical diagnostics.
