Abstract

3D Technologies: a Digital Solution for Early Treatment in Orthodontics

by Gianolio Alessandro

AIM OF THE WORK This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of the realization of .stl files and the segmentation of each individual element, starting from cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), simulating orthodontic-surgical treatment for the three-dimensional evaluation of the position of the roots, in order to make it simpler but above all safer. MATERIALS AND METHODS I would like to share with you my experience about the diagnosis through the use of the US AI platform Diagnocat LTD, Miami, FL (USA) the study programming using an iPad app that allows the simulation of the case in a simplified way (Shapr3d, Budapest, Hungary) and digital operational planning (Software Ortho Analyzer 3Shape) and the creation of a customized device for the resolution of a surgical orthodontic case in developmental age. RESULTS The clinical cases illustrated highlight the importance of the method used to simulate both the surgical approach and the orthodontic procedure, simplifying them and avoiding damage to adjacent structures. CONCLUSIONS The effectiveness and efficiency of the "machine learning" adopted for AI make new digital technologies more usable, placing them within the reach of less accustomed clinicians and accelerate processing processes by reducing digital workflow times.

Learning Objectives

After this lecture, you will be able to learn how new digital technologies recognise the need for digital workflow according to the SCAN - PLAN - MAKE - DONE scheme
After this lecture, you will be able to evaluate how important 3D planning is for the safety of surgical and orthodontic treatment
After this lecture, you will be able to verify how digital planning is the solution of choice especially in the most complex cases
