    Abstract: A method for predicting a future dental situation for a patient. Acquiring historical data including at least: previous time point and context parameter values. Acquiring at a time point all the data related to the current dental situation, including at least: the current time point, context parameter values at the current time point, statistical analysis of the historical data and the current data, so as to predict, at a future time point, at least one future dental situation for the current patient. Depending on the future dental situation, (re)evaluation of the benefit of an orthodontic treatment. Steps may include creating a three-dimensional digital reference model, acquiring at least one two-dimensional image, analysing each updated image and creation, searching, for each updated image, and collecting data relative to the updated reference model and relative to the orthodontic appliance.

    Abstract: A method for evaluating the shape of an orthodontic aligner worn by a patient. Acquisition of at least one two-dimensional image of teeth of the patient as “updated image.” At least one updated image as “aligner image,” at least partially representing the aligner in a service position. At least one updated image as “dentition image,” representing the teeth. If the dentition image is different from the aligner image, conversion of the dentition image so that it represents the teeth as seen under the acquisition conditions used during the acquisition of the aligner image. Determination, for each of a plurality of teeth represented on the dentition and aligner images, of interior and exterior tooth outlines representing the outline of the free end of the tooth on the dentition and aligner images. Comparison of the interior and exterior tooth outlines, followed by determination of at least one score according to the comparison.

    Abstract: A method for modeling a dental arch of a patient. Creation of a historical library including more than 1000 historical tooth models, and assignment, to each historical tooth model, of a value for at least one tooth attribute value. Analysis of at least one analysis image of the dental arch by means of a deep learning device so as to determine at least one analysis tooth zone and at least one tooth attribute value. For each analysis tooth zone determined in the preceding step, search, in the historical library, for a historical tooth model exhibiting a maximal proximity with the analysis image. Arrangement of all of the optimal tooth models so as to create an assembled model which exhibits a maximal proximity Some optionally steps are possible.

    Abstract: A device including a camera, a processing unit and a screen. The camera configured to, at an updated instant, acquire, by a cellphone or a tablet, an updated image representing a real dental scene. The processing unit configured to determine a virtual dental scene as a representation of the real scene on the updated image and identify an element of the virtual scene which does not comply with an assessment criterion, and highlighting and/or adding a message regarding this element in the virtual scene. The screen configured to display the updated image and present the virtual scene overlaid with the representation of the real scene on the updated image displayed on the screen, in transparent mode or not on the representation. The processing unit, the camera and the screen are configured to communicate with one another. The patient acquires the updated image and observes the screen.

    Abstract: A method for enriching a historical learning base. Training of a first neural network to transform first photos of first dental scenes into first hyper-realistic images to simulate the effect of a dental event on the first dental scenes. Submission, to the trained first neural network, of a source photo representing a source dental scene in a dental context, so as to obtain a final image representing, hyper-realistically, the source dental scene after simulation of the dental event. Creation of a descriptor of the final image, or “final descriptor.” Creation of a historical record consisting of the final image and the final descriptor, and addition of the historical record in the historical learning base.

    Abstract: A method to acquire dental images of a patient with a support defining a chamber that is in communication with an outside of said chamber via a first opening and via a second opening. The method includes the following steps: fixing a mobile phone in front of the second opening; positioning the first opening in front of a mouth of the patient; and acquiring at least one dental image by means of the mobile phone.
