SoftSmile announced on Aug. 1 the integration of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) analysis in its treatment planning software, VISION. According to a news release, orthodontists can confidently create customized treatment plans with the advanced visualization and manipulation of 3D CBCT imaging data for each patient's unique anatomy.
What makes VISION's CBCT offering unique is its AI-powered automation, which makes it faster and easier for orthodontists to make informed treatment decisions with the 3D imaging data. VISION's AI is based on neural networks that have been specifically trained to identify and segment various structures using a large dataset of CBCT scans.
The neural networks improve efficiency by decreasing the time it takes to process data, and their learning capabilities boost performance, reducing the need for manual input and adjustments. Additionally, their ability to identify complex patterns ensures precise segmentation and analysis.
The integration of CBCT into VISION provides a range of benefits including:
Khamzat Asabaev, founder and CEO at SoftSmile, said in a news release that the company has been developing its CBCT capabilities since its inception, leveraging years of expertise working with scans for advanced jaw and bone analysis.
"And now with the innovation that CBCT brings to orthodontic diagnostics, SoftSmile is answering the call by delivering superior imaging and analysis that will significantly improve the precision, efficiency and effectiveness of orthodontic treatment planning and evaluation," he said.
In addition, this new integration adds to the already incredible visuals VISION provides, offering orthodontists best-in-class graphics that help to improve treatment results.
