PerioAI: A digital system for periodontal disease diagnosis from an intra-oral scan and cone-beam CT image.

ABSTRACT: Periodontal disease diagnosis and treatment planning are critical for preventing bone and tooth loss. Clinically, dentists manually measure periodontal pocket depth with probes while integrating bone structure from imaging to assess periodontal status, a process that is subjective, invasive, and cognitively burdensome. Here, we propose PerioAI, an accurate, automatic, and non-invasive system that directly measures the gingiva-bone distance (GBD) and provides soft and hard tissue information digitally. PerioAI is a full-stack process comprising four key components: intra-oral scan (IOS) segmentation, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) image segmentation, multimodal data fusion, and digital probing measurement. We evaluated PerioAI on multicenter cohorts comprising 2,507 patients. Outstand
