Dental Prognosis Decision Support App

Dentists often face challenging cases where patients insist on saving teeth with poor prognosis, leading to complex decision-making and potential future treatment failures. There is no easy way to objectively assess and communicate prognosis and risks to patients, especially for difficult restorative cases that may ultimately fail despite extensive treatment.

An app that uses dental case data inputs (radiographs, periodontal measurements, fracture details) combined with historical treatment outcomes to generate evidence-based prognosis predictions. The app would also provide communication tools to help dentists educate patients about treatment risks, likely outcomes, and alternative plans. It would enable better documentation of treatment rationale and support shared decision making.
