    Abstract: A method for generating an image of a dental arch of a beneficiary, called “modified image.” The method includes, at an acquisition time, acquiring a photo depicting the dental arch, called “original image.” The method successively includes processing the original image such that it depicts discriminating information. The method successively includes submitting the original image at the input of a neural network, called “simulation neural network”, trained, based on the original image, to simulate, on the original image, the effect of a dental event, in order to obtain the modified image.

    Abstract: A dental photography kit that includes a support, taking the form of a housing. The support includes a support attachment part. The kit includes a dental retractor that defines a retractor opening and that includes a retractor attachment part that is removably attached to the support attachment part when the retractor is in the mounted position on the support. The kit includes a camera that is removably attached to the support in an operating position in which the camera is oriented to receive an at least partial image of the retractor opening. The retractor attachment part is articulated on the support attachment part.

    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 for evaluating an orthodontic appliance. Acquisition of a two-dimensional “appliance image” of teeth at least partially representing the orthodontic appliance in a service position. Acquisition of a two-dimensional “dentition image” of the teeth. If a determination of comparable dental and appliance attributes is not possible from the appliance image and from the dentition image, respectively, conversion of the appliance image and/or of the dentition image so that the appliance image be compatible with the dentition image. Determination of dental and appliance attributes relative to the shape of the tooth represented on the dentition image and relative to the shape of the orthodontic appliance on the appliance image. Comparison of the dental and appliance attributes, followed by determination of at least one score. At least one image is acquired with a mobile phone.

    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 assessing the shape of an orthodontic aligner. Acquisition of at least one analysis image at least partially representing the aligner in a service position in which it is worn by a patient. Analysis of the analysis image by means of a deep learning device, trained by means of a learning base, so as to determine a value. For at least one tooth attribute of an analysis tooth zone representing, at least partially, a tooth on the analysis image, the tooth attribute relating to a separation between the tooth represented by the analysis tooth zone, and the aligner represented on the analysis image. For an image attribute of the analysis image, the image attribute relating to a separation between at least one tooth represented on the analysis image, and the aligner represented on the analysis image.

    Abstract: Method of analysis of a diagnostic dental representation showing a dental arch of a current patient in several dimensions. The method includes creation of a learning base including more than 1,000 historical dental structures. Each historical dental structure includes a historical dental representation showing an arch of a historical patient in several dimensions and a historical specification containing a value for at least a first attribute relating to a dental object associated with the historical dental representation. The method includes training of at least one deep learning device by use of the learning base. The method includes submission of the diagnostic dental representation to the deep learning device in such a manner that it determines, for the diagnostic dental representation, at least one value for the first attribute.

    Abstract: Method for monitoring positioning of patient's teeth including the following steps: a) less than three months after the end of an orthodontic treatment, producing an initial reference model of the patient's arches, and, each tooth, defining, from the initial reference model, tooth model; b) acquiring at least one updated image of the arches, under actual acquisition conditions; c) analyzing each updated image and producing, for each updated image, an updated map relative to a piece of discriminating information; d) optionally determining, for each updated image, rough virtual acquisition conditions that approximate actual acquisition conditions; e) searching each updated image for a final reference model corresponding to the teeth positioning during acquisition of the updated image, and; f) for each tooth model, comparing tooth model positions in the initial reference model and in reference model obtained at the end of the preceding steps, in order to determine the movement of the teeth between steps a) and b).
