AI monitoring at home improves treatment outcomes for patients with periodontitis
Using Artificial Intelligence monitoring at home had a positive effect on treatment outcomes for patients with periodontitis according to a recent study published in the Journal of Clinical Periodontology.
A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of an at-home AI-assisted dental monitoring application on treatment outcomes in patients with periodontitis.
Participants with periodontitis were recruited and randomly assigned to an AI (AI; n = 16), AI and human counselling (AIHC; n = 17), or control (CG; n = 20) group. All participants received nonsurgical periodontal treatment. They employed an AI-assisted tool called DENTAL MONITORING® (DM) intervention, a new technological AI monitoring product that utilizes smartphone cameras for intraoral scanning and assessment. Patients in the AI and AIHC groups respectively received additional (a) DM or (b) DM with real-person counselling over three months. Periodontal parameters were collected at baseline and follow-ups. A mixed-design model analyzed the follow-up effects over time.
