Introduction: Understanding the Dx

Dx is 3Shape’s AI-powered diagnostic software designed to assist in clinical decision-making and patient communication. Exclusively compatible with TRIOS 6 scans, it supports dental professionals in detecting and monitoring key oral health conditions including surface caries, proximal caries, tooth wear, gingival recession, and plaque efficiently. Dx is available in two versions—Standard and Plus—tailored to different clinical needs.

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.
