Novosibirsk, Russia – A team of researchers from Novosibirsk State University has launched an innovative artificial intelligence (AI) service that can evaluate dental and oral health from a photo of a person’s smile.
The new system uses computer vision and machine learning to make early dental screening more accessible to the general public. According to the university’s official website, the technology is designed to help people identify early signs of dental problems quickly and conveniently.
Originally developed to promote oral hygiene and help users choose the right dental care products, the diagnostic method has now been upgraded with AI features. With these enhancements, the system can now perform basic assessments using digital platforms such as smartphones and computers.
Users simply upload a photo of their smile to the platform. The AI then scans the image to look for signs of potential dental issues, including early tooth decay and gum inflammation. Based on the analysis, the tool offers personalized advice and product recommendations.
Although the application is not a substitute for a visit to the dentist, experts say it serves as a useful early-warning system.
By identifying issues early, users are encouraged to seek professional care before problems worsen.
This AI-powered tool represents a step forward in combining technology and healthcare, offering a simple, user-friendly way to support better oral hygiene and preventive care.
