Artificial intelligence helping diagnosis of rare diseases with oral expressions
This Data Challenge is led by Pr Agnès Bloch-Zupan (PU-PH professor, clinician, rare disease expert, coordinator of the Strasbourg University Hospital, Reference center for rare oral and dental diseases and associated network, researcher at IGBMC, Université de Strasbourg, CNRS- UMR7104, INSERM U1258) and supported by the D-IA-GNO-DENT consortium. This consortium (members below), in partnership with the Health Data Hub, proposes a Data Challenge on the theme of rare dental diseases.

Moving from wandering to diagnosis
Join the D-IA-GNO-DENT Challenge and develope an AI solution to aid in the diagnosis of rare dental diseases based on the analysis of photographs and X-rays of the mouth and teeth. These genetic diseases, which affect multiple organs and systems, are recognised through abnormalities in teeth fixed over time by mineralisation.
The goal : promote access to early detection of rare oral diseases for patients and health professionals
The expected benefit : to reduce the diagnostic wandering of affected individuals.
High level overview on the challenge goal
The context
Oral pathologies or anomalies are often the little known expression of rare diseases of genetic origin. These anomalies are receiving increasing attention because of their diagnostic or even predictive character. They are classified into dental anomalies of number, shape, size, structure, root formation and eruption and correspond to specific developmental and genetic problems. They are fixed in time by mineralisation. They are isolated or associated with other symptoms in syndromes.
900 rare diseases have a dento/oro/facial component. Clinical diagnoses and identification of the genes involved are difficult to make and to implement, leading patients and their families into diagnostic wandering. However, there are diagnostic signatures recognised by experts in the field and supported by phenotype/genotype correlations (D4/phenodent database/NGS GenoDENT panel).

A BIG CHALLENGE !
We have to make a limited set of data speak for itself; we are in the field of rare tooth enamel diseases, but also of precision medicine.
