3dMD announced that internationally-renowned pioneers in the surgical treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome Nelson B Powell, MD, DDS and Robert W Riley, MD, MS, DDS will join the 3dMD sleep advisory team, consisting of Stephen A Schendel, MD, DDS, Professor of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Stanford University Medical Center, and David Hatcher, DDS, MSc, an internationally recognized expert in Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, in its initiative to deliver a best-practice airways analysis and simulation software module to the dental and medical communities.
The volumetric upper airway imaging software has the potential to save lives through its application as an assessment tool bringing orthodontics and medicine closer together for the benefit of undiagnosed OSA patients.
3dMD has established a software architecture for utilizing 3D image fusion for patient treatment planning and simulation. By building on rigorous anatomical and mathematical foundations, 3dMD has focused on making the analysis and planning process very straight-forward promoting an efficient interactive communication between all members of the treatment team throughout the patient treatment cycle.
Starting with a precise 3dMD image of the patient’s face, the 3dMDvultus™ software enables users to easily generate a fused, anatomically-accurate image of the patient superimposing the internal anatomy from CT/CBCT/study models, do a full work-up of the patient’s condition, plan various treatment scenarios, and then undertake a 3D visual simulation of likely outcomes.
