Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Contemporary orthodontic treatment planning relies heavily on individual practitioner experience, leading to significant variability in clinical decisions for similar malocclusion presentations and limiting standardized evidence-based care. OBJECTIVES: This research aimed to develop an intelligent treatment recommendation system integrating medical big data analytics with specialized orthodontic knowledge extraction to enhance clinical decision-making accuracy and efficiency. METHODS: The study integrated 1,106 cases from multiple public orthodontic datasets, including ISBI 2015 Grand Challenge, GitHub repositories, PubMed Central case reports, and Kaggle dental imaging competitions. Graph Attention Networks were applied alongside collaborative filtering methods to process these cases and construct orthodontic knowledge graphs that map diagnostic data to treatment outcomes. RESULTS: When tested on extraction decisions, the hybrid system correctly identified treatment needs in 94.2% of cases, while manual evaluation achieved 78.8% accuracy. Processing required only 2.3±0.4 seconds, compared to 35-45 minutes for traditional cephalometric analysis. Different malocclusion categories showed varying results, with Class I cases reaching 96.5% accuracy and Class II Division 2 cases achieving 91.2%. Processing speed improved by 99.8%, sensitivity increased 24.7%, and clinical reliability improved by 28.3% compared to standard diagnostic procedures. CONCLUSION: Big data analytics can enhance orthodontic decision-making while preserving the personalized treatment planning that remains fundamental to achieving optimal treatment outcomes.
