SpectRUm: Advancing Orthodontic Care: Roseman Dental & Orthodontics’ Integration of Dental Monitoring Technology
Roseman University College of Dental Medicine’s Advanced Education in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics (AEODO) residency program is reshaping orthodontic education through the integration of innovative technologies. At the College of Dental Medicine’s clinic, Roseman Dental & Orthodontics in Henderson, residents apply these advanced technologies, offering patients state-of-the-art care. A prime example is the program’s adoption of Dental Monitoring, a sophisticated system that is transforming how orthodontists track and manage treatment progress.
Dental Monitoring is an advanced digital platform that empowers patients to manage and track their orthodontic treatment remotely. This state-of-the-art system leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze weekly scans of a patient’s teeth, which are submitted via a user-friendly smartphone app. These scans are meticulously reviewed by faculty-resident teams at Roseman Dental & Orthodontics, ensuring continuous oversight and precision in treatment progression.
Dr. Glen Roberson, AEODO Program Director, emphasizes the transformative nature of this technology, saying “Dental Monitoring is a game-changer in modern orthodontics. It allows us to provide consistent, high-quality care while significantly reducing the need for frequent in-office visits. This technology enables us to maintain a close watch on treatment outcomes with unparalleled accuracy.”
Operational Excellence: How Dental Monitoring Functions
The Dental Monitoring process is designed for maximum efficiency and accessibility:
- App Deployment: The Dental Monitoring app is compatible with both iPhone and Android platforms, ensuring broad accessibility.
- Systematic Scans: Patients use a specialized device in conjunction with their smartphone camera to capture detailed images of their teeth, following precise guidelines provided by their faculty and resident team.
- Real-Time Analysis: Submitted scans are immediately analyzed using sophisticated AI technology and subsequently reviewed by the faculty-resident team.
“The brilliance of Dental Monitoring lies in its simplicity,” Dr. Roberson explains. “Through this technology, we can continuously monitor and adjust treatments, ensuring optimal progress. It’s a perfect blend of advanced technology and personalized care.”
Benefits of Dental Monitoring
At Roseman Dental & Orthodontics, the integration of in-office appointments with the advanced capabilities of Dental Monitoring establishes a new standard in personalized patient care. Dr. Kimberly Jones-Rudolph, Clinic Director, highlights the strategic advantages of this integration, saying “This allows us to deliver highly individualized treatment, optimizing outcomes while offering patients unprecedented flexibility in their care.”
The AI-driven precision of Dental Monitoring ensures that tooth movement is tracked with exactitude, keeping treatments on course. Dr. Jones-Rudolph adds, “The real-time tracking not only keeps patients engaged but also allows us to make timely adjustments, maintaining the highest standard of care.”
Dr. Anna Adjei, an AEODO resident, echoes these sentiments, saying “Dental Monitoring has revolutionized the efficiency of patient-provider communication. Our patients have expressed their gratitude in their ability to easily contact us through the app. This has improved our ability as clinicians to accurately assess images and amend treatment protocols as needed.”
Key Monitoring Capabilities
Dental Monitoring offers comprehensive oversight of critical treatment parameters. Dr. Roberson elaborates on its capabilities, “The system allows for accurate aligner fit assessment, tracks the efficacy of braces through wire activation monitoring, regularly evaluates oral hygiene and plaque control, identifies early signs of gum inflammation, and detects the early formation of white spot lesions on enamel. Each of these monitoring capabilities plays a crucial role in ensuring successful treatment outcomes.”
Dr. Benjamin Hostetter, another resident at the clinic, shares his experience, “I have found Dental Monitoring to be helpful in keeping my aligner patients on track. I can send them specific instructions about their case for elastics or chewies to help them focus on certain areas in case a tooth stops moving like we want it to. These interceptive instructions wouldn’t be possible without Dental Monitoring and in the long term I think will help my patients finish their treatment on time and reduce the amount of refinements.”
Pioneering Patient Care at Roseman Dental & Orthodontics
Under the leadership of Dr. Roberson and his faculty, the AEODO program has begun integrating Dental Monitoring into Roseman Dental & Orthodontics, providing a new level of care that aligns with the demands of modern life. The combination of in-office expertise with remote monitoring technology ensures that patients achieve optimal results efficiently.
Dr. Amy Blazejewski, a resident treating patients at the clinic, highlights the transformative impact of this technology on patient relationships, “Dental Monitoring has changed my relationship with my patients for the best. In today’s world, with everyone’s busy schedules, it has been a game changer to be instantly connected to my patient and their progress and needs. We are able to communicate with each other by the click of a button through the app. It allows our patients to have more involvement and control over their treatment and keeps patient motivation high by being able to track their own progress. Dental Monitoring is the new standard in orthodontics.”
Dr. Roberson concludes, “Dental Monitoring represents a significant advancement in orthodontics. At Roseman Dental & Orthodontics, we are committed to using this technology to deliver superior care, making the journey to an ideal smile both effective and seamless.”
