Research Article: The Role of Artificial Intelligence in the Accurate Diagnosis and Treatment Planning of Non-Syndromic Supernumerary Teeth: A Case Report in a Six-Year-Old Boy

Date Published: 2023-05-06

Abstract:
Hyperdontia can cause numerous aesthetic and functional problems. The diagnosis is made radiologically, and the most commonly used radiological method is orthopantomography, while CBCT is also used. CBCT has the advantage of being three-dimensional. Artificial Intelligence is widely used in medicine and dentistry, and it can create a specific algorithm to aid in diagnosis and suggest therapeutic procedures. In a case report, a 6-year-old boy was diagnosed with a supernumerary tooth between the upper central incisors. Orthopantomography revealed another impacted supernumerary tooth, and the patient was referred for CBCT. A platform for analyzing dental images, based on artificial intelligence, Diagnocat (Diagnocat Inc., San Francisco, CA, USA), was used for analysis and the AI system identified the supernumerary teeth and provided a complete plan for treatment. The use of AI in dentistry allows for faster and more accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

Introduction:
Hyperdontia, also known as supernumerary teeth, is a developmental dental anomaly that refers to the presence of excess dental structures that are not part of the normal dentition. Its prevalence ranges from 0.1% to 3.9%. Although hyperactivity of the dental lamina is the most widely accepted reason, the etiology of supernumerary teeth is multifactorial and can result from both genetic and environmental factors [1]. Supernumerary teeth are classified based on their morphology as either associated with specific…
