Description
- Dental implants have become part of
routine treatment plans in many dental offices because of their popularity and
acceptance by patients. Appropriate pre-placement planning, in which imaging
plays a pivotal role, helps to ensure a satisfactory outcome. The development
of precise pre-surgical imaging techniques and surgical templates allows the
dentist to place these implants with relative ease and predictability. This presentation
gives an overview of current practices in implant imaging for the practicing,
with emphasis on selection criteria for imaging. Contemporary imaging techniques
such as USG, MRI for dental implant planning, surgical phase, and also
follow-up treatment will be discussed.
Moreover, recently developing technology Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being implemented for Dentistry especially in dentomaxillofacial radiology. Artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare generally is the use of algorithms and software to approximate human cognition in the analysis of complex medical data. Specifically, AI is the ability for computer algorithms to approximate conclusions without direct human input. What distinguishes AI technology from traditional technologies in health care is the ability to gain information, process it, and give a well-defined output to the end-user. AI does this through machine learning algorithms, which can recognize patterns in behavior and create its logic. This lecture will also explain the basics principles of deep learning and its application in dentistry, and presents examples of successful application of deep learning techniques, particularly in dental implant planning.
Upon completion of this presentation, participants should be able to: 1) explain the imaging modalities of dental implants; 2) prescribe appropriate imaging modality for dental implants; 3) discuss the anatomy for pre-treatment of dental implants; and 4) recognize contemporary imaging modalities such as USG, MRI and AI.
