Ai Use In Claims Processing And Utilization Review, Robert Rosenthal Dds
Ai Use In Claims Processing And Utilization Review, Robert Rosenthal Dds
The Journal of the Michigan Dental Association
This paper investigates the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in claims processing and utilization review in the dental industry. This article aims to explore the potential benefits of AI in this area, such as increased efficiency, accuracy, and fraud detection. The paper begins by providing an overview of the current state of claims processing and utilization review in the dental industry. It then discusses the potential applications of AI in this area, such as automated claims adjudication, predictive analytics, and image recognition. The paper then presents a case study of P&R Dental Strategies, LLC, a leading business intelligence solutions provider …
The Influence Of The Operator Experience On The Accuracy Of Implant Placement: An In Vitro Study, Jeffrey Garcia
The Influence Of The Operator Experience On The Accuracy Of Implant Placement: An In Vitro Study, Jeffrey Garcia
Master's Theses (2009 -)
Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of operator experience in the fully guided placement of implants in dentate patients. Methods: Three different providers with different level of experience in implant surgery (unexperienced, moderate experienced = 2 years of experience, and experienced = more than 5 years of experience in implant surgery) placed each n=20 implants fully guided or free hand in identical replicas, produced from a CBCT of a partially edentulous patient case. The achieved implant position was digitized by using a laboratory scanner and compared with the planned position. Trueness (planned versus actual position) …

Accuracy And Reliability Of A Fully Automated Landmark Identification System On Cone Beam Computed Tomography, Ali Ghowsi, David Hatcher, Heeyeon Suh, Joorok Park, Heesoo Oh
Orthodontics and Endodontics Theses
ABSTRACT Introduction: Medical imaging continues to play an increasing role in health care and is an integral part of medicine and dentistry. Recent technological advancements have led to the development of fully automated landmark identification (ALI) systems capable of tracing Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of an ALI system as a tool for automatic landmark location compared to human judges. Methods: One hundred subjects’ CBCT volumes from multiple imaging centers were traced by two human judges who were calibrated and had an ICC close to 1. Fifty-three landmarks were …
Accuracy Of Implant Placement Utilizing Stereolithographic Guides Printed With And Without Cross-Arch Stabilization Struts, Caitlin Libby Dds
Accuracy Of Implant Placement Utilizing Stereolithographic Guides Printed With And Without Cross-Arch Stabilization Struts, Caitlin Libby Dds
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy of implant placement using stereolithographic guides printed with and without stabilization struts by comparing the post-operative position to the planned implant position.
Methods: A pre-operative cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) of a drillable maxillary model was obtained and data was uploaded into coDiagnostiX for preoperative planning. The implant position was planned in an edentulous space of #5 using a 3.3x10mm Bone Level Tapered (BLT) implant (Straumann). Ten surgical guides were designed utilizing a stabilization strut (Group A), while ten guides were designed without the stabilization strut (Group B). Twenty guides …
Reproducibility And Accuracy Of The Virtual Occlusal Record, Anne M. Harper
Reproducibility And Accuracy Of The Virtual Occlusal Record, Anne M. Harper
Theses and Dissertations
Purpose: To evaluate the reproducibility and accuracy of the virtual occlusal record compared to the gold standard physical bite record
Methods: Two physical bite records of PVS and two virtual bites using an iTero Element scanner were obtained from 22 participants. Intraoral scans were exported as STL files, and virtual occlusal records were created. CBCT images were taken of physical occlusal records and converted to STL files. STL files were superimposed using Geomagic Control X™ Software. Root mean square (RMS) and percent similarity within 0.25 mm tolerance were compared at a significance level of 0.05.
Results: Average …
Accuracy Of Digital Impressions At Varying Implant Depths: An In-Vitro Study, Vivia Sequeira
Accuracy Of Digital Impressions At Varying Implant Depths: An In-Vitro Study, Vivia Sequeira
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
Introduction: Implants placed at variable depths may vary the amount of visible scannable surface of a scan body. Intraoral scanner technology uses advanced optical principles to record the surface of the scan body to accurately capture the implant position.
Purpose: To investigate the effect implant placement depth has on the accuracy of digital implant impressions using an intraoral scanner.
Materials & Methods: A partially edentulous gypsum master model was fabricated to allow the positioning of a single implant analog at different depths. Four groups based on the planned implant depths of 0, 3, 6 and 7mm and corresponding visibility of …
