Healthcare / Vision & Diagnostics
A major dental services provider was managing an ever-growing archive of panoramic mouth scans and intraoral images. These visuals were essential for diagnosis, treatment planning, and long-term patient records — but handling them at scale was becoming increasingly complex.
To streamline how their teams reviewed and labeled scan data, the company sought an AI solution that could make tooth segmentation faster and less dependent on manual precision.
Dental scans require clear, accurate identification of individual teeth — a task that typically involves:
The company needed a way to make this process faster, more consistent, and accessible to a broader range of staff.
We developed a smart segmentation tool that drastically simplified the annotation process by requiring only four user-selected points to generate a full tooth outline.
This made the process significantly faster, while still giving the user control over the final result.
The tool was designed to work directly with the company’s image archive system, so staff could open, segment, and save annotations without extra steps.
The resulting data could be used for diagnostics, orthodontics, insurance reports, or even training future models with consistent labels.
With the new tool in place, the dental company achieved:
By turning a highly manual imaging task into a streamlined, semi-automated process, this project shows how AI can enhance precision, save time, and scale expertise in dental diagnostics. The smart segmentation tool gave the company a practical edge in managing clinical data — and laid the groundwork for smarter, faster imaging workflows across the board.
