PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 20, 2024--

DentalMonitoring, the leader in Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered remote monitoring for orthodontics, has released a major software update introducing features and indications based on the company’s De Novo approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in May 2024. Used by orthodontists around the world to optimize clinical care, DentalMonitoring’s remote monitoring solution leverages advanced image processing algorithms to analyze intraoral remote scans during orthodontic treatment. Patients take these scans using the DentalMonitoring app on their smartphone with the ScanBox pro phone holder. The AI-powered software supports practitioners with clinical indications to remotely detect, track, and monitor orthodontic treatment progress for enhanced real-time decision-making, supporting personalized treatment and optimizing scheduling. This makes treatment more convenient for patients and increases clinical control for providers.

DentalMonitoring performed an extensive clinical study program on over 2,650 patients across 29 sites in North America, which rendered more than 13,000 clinical results presented to the FDA to validate the safety and effectiveness of DentalMonitoring in monitoring intraoral conditions and treatment progress. A very limited number of studies in the dental field involve so many sites and patients, which shows at the same time the robustness of our performances and the magnitude of innovation brought by DentalMonitoring. FDA-validated indications include archwire and auxiliaries passivity, bracket debonding, open self-ligating clips, tie loss, aligner seats and unseats, retainer seats and unseats, button or attachment loss, black triangles, extraction space closure, midline deviation, anterior space closure, overbite, open bite, overjet, and canine class. Orthodontic professionals, supported by this De Novo approval, could rely even more on the efficiency of DentalMonitoring to track treatment progress between in-office appointments.

Through this FDA Approval, DentalMonitoring is also proud to introduce the innovative SmartSTL feature in the United States following its successful rollout across Europe. SmartSTL allows doctors to request updated STL files via the DentalMonitoring dashboard. This allows orthodontists to access production-ready STL files needed for creating midcourse aligner corrections or retainer creation without scheduling the patient for an intraoral scan as was previously the accepted industry standard.

“We are proud to be the new standard of care in orthodontics. This is a recognition of our 10 years of research and development in Deep Learning Artificial Intelligence. The De Novo FDA approval of this improved version of DentalMonitoring software is a key milestone for DentalMonitoring and makes DentalMonitoring the first and only Software as a Medical Device to monitor remotely orthodontic treatments,” says Philippe Salah, CEO and co-founder of DentalMonitoring.

DentalMonitoring supports orthodontists with useful clinical data and is not to be used as a replacement for orthodontic care. DentalMonitoring is indicated for use for patients over the age of 6 and reports results solely on permanent teeth.

Dozens presumed dead and about 100 injured in fire at Swiss Alps bar during New Year's celebration

CRANS-MONTANA, Switzerland (AP) — Dozens of people are presumed dead and about 100 injured, most of them seriously, following a fire at a Swiss Alps bar during a New Year’s celebration, police said Thursday.

“Several tens of people” were killed at the bar, Le Constellation, Valais Canton police commander Frédéric Gisler said.

Work is underway to identify the victims and inform their families but “that will take time and for the time being it is premature to give you a more precise figure," Gisler said.

Beatrice Pilloud, attorney general of the Valais Canton, said it was too early to determine the cause of the fire. Experts have not yet been able to go inside the wreckage.

“At no moment is there a question of any kind of attack,” Pilloud said.

Officials called the blaze an “embrasement généralisé,” a firefighting term describing how a blaze can trigger the release of combustible gases that can then ignite violently and cause what English-speaking firefighters would call a flashover or a backdraft.

“This evening should have been a moment of celebration and coming together, but it turned into a nightmare,” said Mathias Rénard, head of the regional government.

The injured were so numerous that the intensive care unit and operating theater at the regional hospital quickly hit full capacity, Rénard said.

Helicopters and ambulances rushed to the scene to assist victims, including some from different countries, officials said.

“We are devastated,” Frédéric Gisler, commander of the Valais Cantonal police, said during a news conference.

The injured were so numerous that the intensive care unit and operating theater at the regional hospital quickly hit full capacity, according to regional councilor Mathias Rénard.

The municipality had banned New Year’s Eve fireworks due to lack of rainfall in the past month, according to its website.

In a region busy with tourists skiing on the slopes, the authorities have called on the local population to show caution in the coming days to avoid any accidents that could require medical resources that are already overwhelmed.

The community is in the heart of the Swiss Alps, just 40 kilometers (25 miles) north of the Matterhorn, one of the most famous Alpine peaks, and 130 kilometers (81 miles) south of Zurich.

The highest point of Crans-Montana, with a population of 10,000 residents, sits at an elevation of nearly 3,000 meters (1.86 miles), according to the municipality’s website, which says officials are seeking to move away from a tourist culture and attract high-tech research and development.

The municipality was formed only nine years ago, on Jan. 1, 2017, when multiple towns merged. It extends over 590 hectares (2.3 square miles) from the Rhône Valley to the Plaine Morte glacier.

Crans-Montana is one of the top race venues on the World Cup circuit in Alpine skiing and will host the next world championships over two weeks in February 2027.

In four weeks’ time, the resort will host the best men’s and women’s downhill racers for their last events before going to the Milan Cortina Olympics, which open Feb. 6.

Crans-Montana also is a premium venue in international golf. The Crans-sur-Sierre club stages the European Masters each August on a picturesque course with stunning mountains views.
