Abstract

The introduction of smart technology provides accuracy, safety, and efficiency to both physicians and patients. Although interest in a clear aligner is increasing among users worldwide, the current clear aligner requires a visit to the hospital every one or two weeks for replacement, which is a very cumbersome process. There is also confusion among dentists and patients because about 40 to 80 devices are made, and calibration is done based on the order and duration of the clear aligner. Therefore, this study designed and developed a clear aligner management system so that communication between the patient and dentist can be smoothly performed by inserting the QR code into the transparent correction device. As a result, the size of the QR code was recognized as $6{\ast}6mm^2$ which can be used in the oral and the recognition distance was 100% within 12 cm. Since the dentist can remotely manage the patient with the proposed system and improve the correction effect, it is possible to manage patients abroad, as well as domestically.

스마트 기술의 도입은 의사와 환자 모두에게 정확성, 안전성, 효율성을 제공한다. 투명 교정장치에 대한 관심은 국내외에서 점점 높아지고 있지만, 현재 투명교정 장치로 치열교정을 할 경우, 환자는 1, 2주에 한 번씩 병원을 방문하여 교체하여야 하며, 약 40~80개 정도의 장치가 제작되고 교정장치의 착용 순서 및 기간 등을 고려해서 교정이 이루어지기 때문에 치과 의사와 환자는 매우 번거롭고 혼란스럽다. 또한 이 과정에서 치과 의사와 환자 간 정확한 의사소통이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구는 투명 교정장치에 QR 코드를 삽입하여 환자와 의료진 간의 커뮤니케이션이 보다 원활하게 이루어질 수 있도록 투명 교정장치 관리 시스템을 설계 및 개발하였다. 개발 결과 QR 코드의 크기는 구강 내에서 사용 가능한 $6{\ast}6mm^2$ 이상이면 100% 인식하였고, 인식 거리는 12cm 이내에서 100% 인식률을 보였다. 제안한 시스템으로 치과의사는 환자를 원격으로 관리하며 교정효과를 높여 주기 때문에 국내의 환자는 물론 해외의 환자 관리가 가능하다.
