人工智能正颌外科的探索与临床初步应用

Exploration and clinical application of artificial intelligence in orthognathic surgery

正颌外科手术是牙颌面畸形最常用的治疗方式。目前正颌外科已经普遍进入数字化阶段,但存在人工操作流程繁杂,重复性劳动比例高、效率低、耗时长,人工设计错误率高等问题。人工智能是解决上述问题的有效方法和研究前沿。本课题组利用人工智能技术建立算法模型,开发出一套可以应用于牙颌面畸形患者临床诊断及手术方案设计的系统,并进行相关临床试验验证其临床使用可行性和准确性,期望其可以应用于临床辅助专科医生的诊疗工作。

Orthognathic surgery is the most common treatment for malocclusion deformity.Orthognathic surgery has entered the digital stage,but it has many problems,such as complicated manual operation,low reproducibility,low effi‐ciency,time consuming,and high error rate of manual design.Artificial intelligence is an effective method and research frontier to solve these problems.Our research team explored an algorithm model by artificial intelligence and established a software system for the diagnosis and surgical design for patients with malocclusion deformity.Relevant clinical trials were conducted to verify its feasibility and accuracy.The artificial intelligence software system for orthognathic surgery is expected to be applied to assist the diagnosis and treatment of dentofacial deformity.
