Assessment of Decision Support System Software in Extraction and Anchorage Planning Among Adult Patients Using Computer Algorithm

• Conditions: Cases That Need Extraction of Teeth in Orthodontics; Anchorage Planning
• Interventions: Other: Well finished cases

• Registration Number: NCT05348109
• Lead Sponsor: Cairo University

Brief Summary

It was introduced in dentistry to be used in innovative research and development in addition to facilitating the decision in complicated cases and ensure high patient care quality. In the field of Orthodontics in specific, many studies previously mentioned the idea of artificial intelligence showing very promising results and high degree of reliability. It was used in different domains in orthodontics like diagnosis, treatment planning, evaluation of treatment outcome

Detailed Description

In this study, the aim is to access the efficiency of the new decision support system in determining whether the decision is extraction or non-extraction and the anchorage plan required for each case. This was performed in the past in many countries and those studies are published
