A US patent on Artificial Intelligence application for Orthodontics
Summary
This patent describes a computer implemented method and the associated system for orthodontic treatment options for use in orthodontic diagnosis or treatment planning. The method performs a rules - based expert system analysis on a given feature variable to produce expert system treatment options. The given feature variable represents an orthodontic feature of a patient. Simultaneously but seperately this method also applies a computer implemented multi component model to a given set of feature variables to produce multicomponent model based treatment options that include primary and secondary model based treatment options. The method then compares the expert system based options with the multicomponent model based options to determine disagreement or agreement between each other, enabling a suitable treatment decision to be arrived at which can be valuable to clinicians for verifying treatment plans, minimizing human error , training orthodontists , and improving reliability .
