Artificial Intelligence (AI) based Decision-Making Model for Orthodontic Diagnosis and Treatment Planning

摘要

A computer-implemented method and corresponding system provide 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. The method applies a computer-implemented multi-component model to a given set of feature variables to produce multi-component model-based treatment options that include primary and secondary model-based treatment options. The method compares the expert system treatment options to the multi-component model-based treatment 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.
