Panoramic Findings API
Panoramic radiographs are widely used in orthodontics as a diagnostic tool to aid orthodontists in assessing a patient’s teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures. These radiographs provide a two-dimensional panoramic view of the entire mouth, encompassing the teeth, jaws, and temporomandibular joints (TMJs).
🔹 Description:
The Panoramic Findings API analyzes panoramic dental X-rays to automatically detect and localize common clinical conditions, including:
• Impacted Canine
• Impacted Molar
• Impaction with Crowding
• Dental Decay
• Restorations (fillings, crowns)
• Endodontic Treatments (e.g., root canals)
• Spans (edentulous spaces)
• Implants
The API returns both a structured JSON output and a saved image with bounding boxes highlighting the detected conditions, assisting dental professionals in diagnosis and reporting.
🦷 What is the purpose of this API?
The purpose of the Panoramic Findings API is to assist dentists and orthodontists in automatically identifying key clinical findings from panoramic radiographs. By leveraging AI, the API provides:
• Visual indicators of critical dental conditions.
• Early detection of abnormalities like impacted teeth and restorations.
• A systematic and consistent approach to interpreting complex panoramic images.
It improves workflow efficiency, supports clinical decision-making, and ensures more comprehensive radiographic assessments.
🕐 When to use it?
Use this API in the following scenarios:
• As part of initial patient evaluations to flag significant findings in the panoramic X-ray.
• To enhance documentation of dental status during checkups or treatment planning.
• When you need a quick screening tool to identify impacted teeth, existing restorations, or signs of crowding.
• In orthodontic and prosthodontic cases where spacing, implants, or impactions influence the treatment approach.
• For AI-supported second opinions or auditing clinical records.
🔹 Notes:
• The output is structured to be easily integrated into follow-up tools or displayed in diagnostic UIs.
• Not all classes may appear in each result — only detected findings are returned.
• Can be run after Panoramic Segmentation API for a complete panoramic analysis workflow.
• Works best with high-quality, well-positioned panoramic X-rays.
