  • Patent number: 11357604
    Abstract: A comprehensive dental readiness platform is presented. Dental patient data including an image, proposed treatments, and a dental form are received and processed by first machine learning models to obtain clinical findings and predicted values for fields of the dental form. The clinical findings and other results are processed by a second machine learning model to obtain predictions of a future dental condition of a patient. The second machine learning model utilizes an ensemble of Transformer Neural Networks, Long-Short-Term-Memory Networks, Convolutional Neural Networks, and Tree-Based Algorithms to predict the dental readiness classification, dental readiness durability, dental readiness error, dental emergency likelihood, prognosis, and alternative treatment options.

  • Publication number: 20220012815
    Abstract: A dental procedure, one or more dental images, and documentation are processed to extract data and label and/or measure dental anatomy or pathologies using a first stage. The extracted data and labels are processed with a second stage to obtain predictions of deficiencies of the dental images and documentation. The predictions may include tasks to remedy the deficiencies, adjudication likelihood, instant payment amount, patient fee, and average time to payment. The first stage and second stage may each include a plurality of machine learning models. The second stage may include a plurality of machine learning models coupled to a concatenation layer. Inputs to the concatenation layer may include outputs of hidden layers of the plurality of machine learning models. The concatenation layer may take the extracted data and labels as inputs.

  • Patent number: 11189028
    Abstract: A machine learning model is trained to predict pixel spacing, distance, and volumetric measurements. Training images are obtained by inpainting around an original image and scaling the inpainted image to obtain the training image having a different pixel spacing than the original image. The machine learning model may include an encoder, a transformer, a first TC layer, and a second TC layer. During training, loss may be obtained from a comparison of the output to the first TC layer to a coarse pixel spacing matrix and a comparison of the output of the second TC layer to a fine pixel spacing matrix. During utilization, the pixel spacing of an image may be obtained using the machine learning model and used to correct the image or measurements obtained from the image.

  • Publication number: 20210358604
    Abstract: An interface enables a user to select a block type, place an instance of that block type in a schematic and connect the instance to other instances. Each block type defines processing of dental data, such as dental images according to any of a plurality of modalities and defines logic, such as if statements, to determine an output (positive/negative) for instances of that block type. Logic may include Boolean expressions relating to results of the inf statements. The logic may operate with respect to data derived from patient data using a machine learning model trained to measure dental anatomy, measure dental pathologies, or diagnose dental conditions. A workflow may be created with instances to determine the appropriateness of a dental treatment.

  • Publication number: 20210357688
    Abstract: A dental form image may be processed with a segmentation network to identify point labels corresponding to reference point labels of a reference form. The image and the point labels along with a reference image and the reference point labels may be processed by a pair of encoders to obtain offsets. Text blobs may be identified from portions of the image corresponding to the reference point labels, such as with correction according to the offsets. Image portions and text blobs for each field of the dental form may be processed to extract text. Intermediate values of machine learning models used to extract text may be input to a machine learning model estimating a procedure code for the dental form. Machine learning models may be used to correctly identify a provider referenced by the dental form.
