Handicapping Labio-Lingual Deviation Index (HLD)
An API for HLD (Handicapping Labio-Lingual Deviation Index) is designed to assist in the automated calculation and evaluation of the HLD score, a standardized index used to assess the severity of malocclusion. This index helps determine whether a patient qualifies for orthodontic treatment based on specific dental and occlusal criteria.
How does this API work
The API analyzes clinical images, dental charts, or relevant orthodontic data inputs. It detects and measures specific parameters outlined in the HLD index, such as overjet, overbite, missing teeth, diastema, crossbite, and crowding. Using predefined scoring rules, user needs to fill the HLD Form available and then the API calculates the total HLD score and returns it as structured output. This facilitates quick, objective, and standardized assessment for treatment eligibility.
