Research Interest
The goal of Dental Loop Research Services is to find ways to alleviate the strain on both the public and private dental healthcare systems while improving transparency in the treatment provided. It's ambitious, we know! We hope to find ways to help dental professionals tend to more patients OR reduce wait times to receive dental treatment and providing convenient access to care in private dental settings.

1
The Dental Loop Scribe
We are developing a comprehensive generative AI system that integrates various facets of dental diagnostics to assist with record keeping and treatment planning, and enhance patient engagement with their oral health
2
Facial landmark tracking
Track facial landmarks and parameters with simple video recordings, taking away the need for arbitrary measurement techniques
3
Speech pathology and phonetic evaluation
Using unsupervised AI-powered transcribers and audio detection models, detect speech anomalies that might be linked to dental or palatal origins and determine treatment need
4
Automated analysis of 3D intraoral scans
Application of 3D deep learning methods to detect anatomical landmarks and detect anomalies from 3D models of dental arches
Detect cavities and other lesions in realtime
5
Any camera lens, whether it's an intraoral camera or a smartphone lens, is suitable for this purpose. It's ideal for educational use and provides peace of mind by ensuring that no details are missed. Any changes in the oral cavity since the last appointment can be easily identified and highlighted.
6
Monitor root canal treatment outcomes
AI models with the capability to detect and continuously monitor endodontic (root canal) treatments, not only between appointments but also during long-term follow-ups spanning years.
7
Support for tooth extraction
Highlight and trace important nerves and vessels when extracting a tooth or assessing the need for specialist referrals
8
Treating jaw and sleep disorders
Predict possible Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and masticatory muscle dysfunction.
