Device Purpose

Denti.AI Detect is an AI-powered software designed to enhance diagnostic capabilities for dental professionals by serving as a second reader for 2D dental radiographs to identify caries, periapical radiolucencies, and measure bone levels. Its methodology utilizes computer-assisted detection algorithms, with studies demonstrating its ability to improve reader performance in identifying dental pathologies.

Summary

Denti.AI Detect is a cloud-based, Computer-Assisted Detection (CADe) software intended for use by dental professionals, including dentists and dental specialists, as a second reader for 2D extraoral (panoramic) and intraoral (bitewing, periapical) dental radiographs. It is designed to assist in analyzing images from patients aged 22 years and older with permanent dentition by detecting and highlighting uncategorized regions of interest (ROIs) within the teeth area, specifically caries and periapical radiolucency. The software also aids in the measurements of mesial and distal bone levels associated with each tooth. Denti.AI Detect supports various image file formats such as JPEG, TIFF, PNG, BMP, and DICOM, and is not intended to replace a clinician's complete review or clinical judgment. The device's performance was evaluated through stand-alone bench testing and a clinical Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) study. For caries and periapical radiolucency detection, a study with 709 images yielded an across-category weighted Alternative Free-Response Receiver Operating Characteristic (wAFROC) Area Under the Curve (AUC) of 0.737 (95% CI: 0.713, 0.761). The bone measurement study, using 193 images, reported high sensitivity for Cementoenamel Junction (CEJ)-Bone measurements (e.g., 98.1% for bitewing) with Mean Absolute Errors (MAE) around 0.5-0.7 mm depending on image type and specific measurement. The MRMC study, involving 24 dental professionals and 154 images, demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in their diagnostic performance for detecting periapical radiolucencies and caries when assisted by Denti.AI Detect (aided wAFROC 0.809 vs. unaided wAFROC 0.784, p=0.029).

Relevant Clinical Questions

  • Q1. How does the performance of Denti.AI Detect vary across different types and qualities of dental radiographs (e.g., underexposed, overexposed, varying sensor brands)?; What is the false positive rate for caries and periapical radiolucency detection, and how does it impact typical dental workflows?; Beyond the reported wAFROC AUC of 0.737 for combined caries and periapical radiolucency, what were the specific performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, AUC) for each finding type individually?; How does the device's bone level measurement accuracy (e.g., MAE of 0.513 mm for bitewing CEJ-Bone) compare to manual measurements by experienced periodontists, and what is the clinical significance of this difference?; Considering the MRMC study showed a statistically significant improvement (difference 0.025 in wAFROC), what is the practical clinical impact of this improvement on patient outcomes or diagnostic efficiency?
