This procedure, based on artificial intelligence (AI), is already in use (Figure 4.15). At the time of writing it is a third‐party service, which will undoubtedly be added to the CBCT software by the manufacturers. This is an excellent feature because it saves time and effort, but should only be used to obtain a general impression. Presently it is not accurate enough in relation to tooth volume. In the not too distant future, however, it is expected to improve, as with most applications that depend on AI. Tooth contact or minor resorption will need to be confirmed, preferably in the MPR screen.

Fig. 4.15 Automatic segmentation, artificial intelligence (AI) driven. The software algorithm automatically segments the teeth and bone for each jaw separately and the inferior alveolar canal. A viewer that can run on a PC or a smartphone will allow each entity to be coloured, rotated in all axes and moved separately, as well as being removed and much more.
