Planemca has introduced its Planmeca Romexis software platform with new tools for 2D and 3D imaging to optimise daily tasks and boost patient communication. The new tools utilise AI to generate proposals, but keeps decision-making authority with the clinician.
Romexis Smart is a new optional feature available for the Romexis 3D imaging module that automatically segments and recognises anatomies such as the skull, soft tissue, teeth, nerves, jaws, airways and sinuses. This feature is designed as a tool for patient communication with the visualisation of anatomies, and enables a quicker and easier user for the software.
According to the company, the use of AI helps save time in the implant planning and implant guide design as CBCT images and intraoral scans are automatically fitted. Romexis Smart also streamlines the CMF surgery workflow, from the automated jaw segmentation, nerve detection and fitting of CBCT images and intraoral scans generate time-savings and allow surgeons to focus on the essential steps such as surgery planning, which optimises the return on their time invested.
Additionally, segmented anatomies offer an effective means to explain treatment plans to patients. This can help patients gain a better understanding of their treatment options, which often leads to increased case acceptance rates.
The Romexis software also offers another advanced AI-based tool, which is optionally available for the 2D imaging module. As a result of a collaboration between Planmeca and Pearl, a provider of dental AI solutions, Romexis users can now benefit from the seamless integration with Pearl’s Second Opinion radiologic detection aid service and receive AI detections created by the service directly in Romexis.
The automatic 2D image analysis for panoramic and intraoral x-rays provides a second pair of eyes, which can help dentists make better diagnoses, boost patient communication and improve oral health outcomes.
The AI analysis helps to identify signs of various dental pathologies and other treatable conditions found in dental radiographs, including hard-to-spot issues such as incipient caries or the early signs of a periapical radiolucency. Findings are highlighted in colour and text, establishing an easy-to-understand independent opinion that helps gain patient trust. This allows for timely interventions and long-term health benefits through increased patient retention.
“Artificial intelligence is not only the future but already the present of dentistry. Our unwavering commitment remains: to simplify the lives of our users and unlock value through intuitive software tools. With Planmeca Romexis, we have now taken this mission to new heights. By seamlessly integrating artificial intelligence, Romexis not only accelerates data analysis but also elevates precision. Clinicians can now navigate their tasks more efficiently, allowing them to focus on what truly matters – patient care,” said Helianna Puhlin-Nurminen, vice-president of Digital Imaging and Applications at Planmeca.
