MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202521025270 A) filed by Bharati Vidyapeeth College Of Engineering, Pune, Maharashtra, on March 20, 2025, for 'an artificial intelligence-based dental caries detection system.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Shweta Chaudhary; Dr. Preetam Shah; Dr. Priyanka Paygude; and Dr. Mayur Chaudhary.
The application for the patent was published on Dec. 12, under issue no. 50/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to an artificial intelligence-based dental caries detection system (100) and a method thereof. The artificial intelligence-based dental caries detection system (100) comprises an untrained artificial intelligence model (103), a trained artificial intelligence model (101), patient dental images (102), a dental professional (104), and training dental images (105). The untrained artificial intelligence model (103) is trained using annotated training dental images (105) to identify patterns and features for detecting dental caries. The trained artificial intelligence model (101) analyzes patient dental images (102) to detect the presence of dental caries, classify them based on location and extent, and predict their progression based on responses to a questionnaire. Further, said system also recommends follow up actions. The patient dental images (102) are captured using imaging devices such as intraoral cameras, X-ray systems, and 3D scanners. A dental professional (104) validates the results generated by the trained artificial intelligence model (101) and provides corrective feedback to improve accuracy."
