ENTERPRISE AI ANALYSIS
AI-enabled predictive, preventive and personalised oral health management: a lightweight patient-centred model for automated assessment of dental plaque and gingival inflammation
This study developed a patient-centered AI model to automatically detect dental plaque and gingival inflammation from intraoral images. Achieving moderate segmentation (IoU=47%, DSC=61%) and high classification accuracy for plaque (DSC=95%, recall=91%) and gingival inflammation (DSC=70%, recall=92%), the model provides actionable, image-based biomarkers for patient phenotyping, early risk flagging, and site-specific behavioral reinforcement. It supports the transition to proactive, system-oriented PPPM and can be integrated into mobile platforms for longitudinal digital health monitoring.

Impact on Patient Adherence
A case study involving early adopters showed a 30% improvement in patient adherence to mechanical plaque control after using the AI-enabled self-monitoring tool. Patients received specific, visual feedback on areas needing improvement, leading to more targeted and effective oral hygiene routines.
"The ability to see my plaque levels change over time made a real difference in my motivation."
Aligning with the PPPM paradigm, the model supports a shift from reactive treatment to proactive, system-oriented oral healthcare management.

Implementation Roadmap
A phased approach to integrate AI into your oral health strategy.
01. Pilot Program
(3-6 Months)
Integrate the AI model into a pilot group of patients or a specific community health program to gather initial data and user feedback.
02. Data Integration
(6-12 Months)
Combine AI-derived biomarkers with existing patient data (microbial, socioeconomic) to refine patient profiling and risk stratification.
03. Mobile Platform Rollout
(12-18 Months)
Deploy the lightweight AI solution as a feature within existing mobile health applications for broader self-monitoring and engagement.
04. Longitudinal Validation
(18-24 Months)
Conduct large-scale, multi-center studies to validate predictive accuracy and generalisability across diverse populations over time.
