■ Background/problem of this patent
Workers who work in workplaces that handle chemical substances may suffer from tooth erosion (a condition in which acid dissolves teeth) depending on the work environment. In such workplaces, based on the Industrial Safety and Health Act, at the time of employment or transfer to the work, and once every six months from the start of the work, regular dental special checkups It is supposed to diagnose whether caries is caused by the workplace.
However, the current situation is that dentists examine each patient individually to diagnose whether or not they have erosion caused by the workplace, which is extremely inefficient.
Therefore, at Scrie, AI has invented a basic patented technology, “Erosion Dental Examination AI”, which analyzes images of the oral cavity of workers and detects whether erosion is caused by the workplace.
This has made it possible to detect erosion very efficiently compared to dentists examining each patient individually. In addition, by comparing with past intraoral images, the degree and progress of erosion can be easily detected.
Regarding special dental examinations, only business establishments with 50 or more employees were obliged to submit the results of the special dental checkups to the chief of the local Labor Standards Inspection Office. In order to eliminate this, from October 1, 2022, it has become necessary to submit regardless of the number of workers. As the implementation rate increases due to this, it is expected that the situations in which the present invention will contribute will increase.
