The research tagged (Health and Reliability of Automatic Tooth Segmentation Using Artificial Intelligence) was published by researchers Dr. Diaa Hussein Abed Aoun, and doctoral student Ammar Shaker Al-Obaidi from the College of Dentistry, University of Baghdad, Orthodontic Branch, in the Scientific World Journal in Egypt. It is considered the first study globally to establish the use of artificial intelligence programs regularly as an alternative to expensive global products.
The study also aimed to evaluate the accuracy of the segmented dental model (STM) produced by the artificial intelligence program (CephX®) and compare it with the results of the Insignia system. It included a study on the clinical applications of artificial intelligence in orthodontic treatment that was conducted on a group of patients undergoing orthodontic treatment.
The results showed that there is no statistically or clinically significant difference between the artificial intelligence programs used in the study and the gold standard (global product). The study recommended the use of software as a documented alternative.
