The cost-effectiveness Artificial Intelligence of -supported detection of proximal caries was assessed by new study published in International Association for Dental Research (IADR).
The Interactive Talk presentation will also be presented on the same topic by Falk Schwendicke, Charite – Universitaetsmedizin Berlin, Germany and take place on Saturday, June 25th, 2022 at 2 p.m. China Standard Time (UTC+08:00) during the “e-Oral Health Network I” session.
Artificial Intelligence In Caries Detection
The study investigated the cost-effectiveness of AI-supported detection of proximal caries in a randomized controlled clustered cross-over superiority trial. Twenty-three dentists assessed 20 bitewings; 10 of which were randomly evaluated supported by an AI-based software and the other 10 without AI.
‘Detecting early caries lesions was more sensitive when using artificial intelligence and the treatment decisions determined the lifetime cost-effectiveness.’
The results found that for detecting early (E2 or D1) lesions, dentists were significantly more sensitive when using AI. However, treatment decisions determined the lifetime cost-effectiveness.
If, however, all detected early lesions had been treated non- or micro-invasively, AI was far less costly. AI applications should not only support caries detection, but also subsequent evidence-based management of caries lesions.
