Abstract: A computing device implemented method includes the step of using a third-party disparate dental imaging system with capabilities to directly control a dental intraoral x-ray sensor imaging device via enacting communication with that specific brand of dental intraoral x-ray sensor imaging device for the purpose of acquiring new dental intraoral x-ray images of a patient's dental anatomy. The computing device implemented method also includes the step of using a decoupled software application that is not part of the third-party dental imaging software and which decoupled software contains an algorithm that detects when a specific brand or version of third-party dental imaging software is enacted upon the same computing device as the decoupled software application is executing. The computing device implemented method automates acquisition of images from non-supported dental imaging devices into closed architecture dental imaging software.

Abstract: A method for automatedly displaying and enhancing AI detected dental conditions which includes the steps of sending one or more images of dental information which is a 2d or 3d image or images containing dental anatomy to a convolution neural network-based machine learning software which has been trained to identify specific dental conditions or features, enacting of one or more machine learning convolution neural networks to detect a specific dental condition from a set of dental features or conditions, displaying one or more images with the detected dental conditions annotated graphically upon the image and in a location annotating the detected dental condition/feature, exposing in the user interface the ability for a user to select one of the possible many AI detections that are detected and annotated graphically upon the image, in response to user input, enacting an algorithm for the selected one of the possible many AI detections whereby said algorithm automates creation of multiple enhanced images using

Abstract: The present invention is a method of making a diagnosis of a dental condition of a patient which includes the steps of collecting non-imaging data relating to the patient, storing the non-imaging data in a storage medium containing stored non-imaging data and existing imaging data for this patient and for a plurality of other patients and applying non-real time and non-user attended algorithms to the stored non-imaging data and the existing imaging data of this patient and other patients. The algorithms determine the diagnosis of the dental condition of the patient. The diagnosis either is complete or determines what new dental imaging data for the patient is required to be acquired to diagnose the dental condition of the patient. The non-imaging data includes non-clinical data and non-dental clinical data.

Abstract: A method for integrating a non-supported dental imaging device into dental imaging software operates on a computer which is coupled to a display that is capable of displaying dental x-rays and dental photographs. An originally supported dental imaging device has an API binary file with an original filename accessible to the computer. The method includes the steps of creating a replacement alternate API binary file which contains equivalent functionality as the API binary file of the original supported dental imaging device and placing the replacement alternate API binary file either onto or accessible to the computer. The replacement alternate API binary file has the same filename as does the original filename of the API binary file of the originally supported dental imaging device. The method also includes the step of having the replacement alternate API binary file operated on by the dental imaging software by means of the computer.
