orthoscience.com
- approached dolphinimaging.com for integration
- Like Pintrest for ortho.
- Integration with Dolphin
- Dolphin can de-identify
- Parallel effort by AAO: the board approved to create an orthodontic case database, which might compete with this.
- Dolphin could upload some data to orthoscience, but codes have to be well defined.
- Problem with orthoII: It's too customizable, so data can't participate in big data, because everyone creates their own parameters instead of using codes.
- SNOMED/SNODENT codes are currently not being used, Ken Gladstone and Mark Hans were not aware of them.
- How about the DI score Discrepancy Index? Is this in SNODENT? Should this be considered for orthoscience integration.
- Some members include Stuart Frost, Francesco Garino... (see http://www.orthoscience.com/team)
American Orthodontist
- New Journal Elsevier journal
- online only
- a lot more clinical, with case reports
- Buzz Behrents as one editor
Dentacoin
- Blockchain in dental field.
- Not clear what they actually do.
- Most of the team members have Bulgarian, Russian and eastern European names.
- Have mobile app
Dental Monitoring
- Is growing and expanding in the US
- They are developing their technology, keeps getting better.
smiledirectclub
- they don't talk about straightening teeth, but straightening smiles.
- there are all kinds of disaster stories
- maybe Mark Hans can compete with them
- Is smiledirect polymers really special as they say? After testing on chemical properties of thermoplastic materials, there is nothing special about it.
- Carla Evans there are 3 published articles which study polymers of aligners, for things like discoloration and other properties, and other properties.
Teeth segmentation
- Collected and compared times for humans to segment teeth and mesh repair time from study model scans with Orchestrate, MotionView (w and wo facial axis and teeth)
- Repair the mesh
- Segment the teeth
- Which one is better? Fast, but dirtier? How about quality?
- Times are always less then 4m per scan.
- Bottom line is: a a private orthodontist can compete with smiledirectclub and still make a profit.
Printing Brackets
- Torque on the base: ISO standard for torque on tooth, definitions, abbreviations and measurements.
- Big change is corrosion testing: if you print metal brackets you have to worry about corrosion.
- Can you print brackets with 3D printers? Yes. Printing Ch-Co printer and Stainless Steel. It's called centering for metal.
- Is it economical? Probably not economical: if you do the math $0.60/bracket, but the printer is $300k. So if you have the printer, it'OK
- Printing with polymers should be possible with strong polymers.
Dolphin 12 (64bit)
- 64 bit resolves the 2GB RAM limit, allowing, for example, the user to superimpose larger FOV of volumes
- currently in beta
- showed how it's easy to superimpose intraoral scan with CBCT.
- showed how to segment a mandible out
- demoed complex surgical orthodontic case involving mandible and maxilla rotation, using temporary splints.
- showed 3D real time morphing from 2D tracing.
