Introduction: Understanding Dx Plus
Dx is available in two versions—Standard and Plus—tailored to different clinical needs.
Dx Plus is 3Shape’s AI-powered diagnostic software designed to assist in clinical decision-making and patient communication. Exclusively compatible with TRIOS 6 scans, Dx Plus supports dental professionals in detecting and monitoring key oral health conditions including surface caries, proximal caries, tooth wear, gingival recession, and plaque efficiently.
Key Points
- AI-Assisted Detection: Dx Plus uses AI trained on thousands of scans to assist in identifying surface caries, tooth wear, gingival recession, plaque, and proximal caries (not AI-based). It provides visual overlays and confidence scores to support clinical judgment.
- Monitoring Over Time: Dx enables comparison of scans over time, helping clinicians track progression of oral health conditions and treatment outcomes. Documentation is automated and instantly accessible.
- Enhanced Patient Communication: Dx helps with patient understanding, trust, and engagement in their oral health, with clear visualizations and integration with the DentalHealth App.
