Planmeca Launches Artificial Intelligence Tools for Romexis Platform

Planmeca has introduced new artificial intelligence (AI) tools for its Planmeca Romexis® software platform. The new Romexis Smart AI-based feature allows the segmentation and recognition of anatomies, such as teeth, nerves, jaws, airways, and sinuses. This enables easier and faster use of the software and excellent visualization of the case for patient education.

With the help of AI, CBCT images and intraoral scans are automatically mapped. Thanks to the automatic tooth number recognition, a CBCT volume can be easily navigated just by clicking on the tooth number in the tooth chart and the software centers all views on the tooth of interest, according to a press release from Planmeca.

Additionally, Planmeca is expanding the Planmeca Romexis CAD/CAM module with Planmeca Romexis Ortho Simulator. With this feature, intraoral scans can be used to simulate the potential of a patient’s smile in minutes. The AI-based algorithm of the module creates simulation proposals for orthodontic cases and makes it easy to discuss treatment possibilities and showcase the potential of clear aligner treatments with patients.

The Planmeca Romexis CMF Surgery module for craniomaxillofacial surgery planning has been improved with new features and improvements to existing functionalities. The segmentation features have been improved and can be fully automated with the new Romexis Smart tools, according to the company’s press release. Landmarks can now be detected automatically, and case visualization now includes the possibility to simulate changes in the soft tissues, which the patient can expect following surgery.

In addition, Romexis is offering a new service for users interested in an AI-based image analysis service for intraoral x-rays. Planmeca, in partnership with AI company Pearl, is making Pearl’s Second Opinion service available within the Romexis platform. Users will receive AI evaluations of their intraoral x-ray images directly in Romexis.

“Our ultimate goal with Planmeca Romexis is to make the work of its users easier and help them create value with intuitive and easy-to-use software tools. By harnessing the power of artificial intelligence, Romexis helps clinicians to analyze data more quickly and accurately as well as use their time more efficiently. At the same time, we are taking data privacy and security very seriously and have built security into the software since day one. We are extremely proud that all Romexis users can follow responsible practices and meet tightening regulatory requirements for data security all around the world while using intelligent software tools that make their workflow,” states Helianna Puhlin-Nurminen, vice president of Digital Imaging and Applications at Planmeca.
