This study seeks to automate the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) in dentistry with Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, notably MediaPipe, to improve accuracy and obviate the necessity for expert judgment. This research utilizes time-synchronized videos and averages across frames to mitigate mistakes resulting from visual occlusion and over- or underestimation, respectively. The REBA scores of the observed dentists were evaluated and compared with the conventional single image-based method. Among the evaluated dentists, 83% of dentists are at high risk, and the other 17% of dentists are at very high risk, requiring solutions to lower their REBA scores and prevent musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). The individual REBA point profiles differed, necessitating a collective study through response surface methodology (RSM) utilizing Design Expert software. The RSM model exhibited substantial results, as indicated by R = 0.9055 and = < 0.0001 values. A linear regression equation was established, and contour graphs depicted the relative variation of REBA points. The optimized REBA score profile establishes a maximum attainable threshold for dentists, directing them towards the lower scores. This streamlined contour functions as a design restriction for creating ergonomic solutions in dental practice.
本研究旨在利用人工智能(AI)技术,特别是MediaPipe,实现牙科快速全身评估(REBA)的自动化,以提高准确性并消除专家判断的必要性。本研究利用时间同步视频并对各帧求平均值,分别减轻因视觉遮挡以及高估或低估导致的错误。对观察到的牙医的REBA分数进行评估,并与传统的基于单张图像的方法进行比较。在评估的牙医中,83%的牙医处于高风险,另外17%的牙医处于非常高风险,需要采取措施降低他们的REBA分数并预防肌肉骨骼疾病(MSD)。个体的REBA分数分布不同,因此需要使用Design Expert软件通过响应面法(RSM)进行综合研究。RSM模型显示出显著结果,R值为0.9055,P值<0.0001。建立了线性回归方程,等高线图描绘了REBA分数的相对变化。优化后的REBA分数分布为牙医设定了一个可达到的最高阈值,引导他们朝着更低的分数努力。这种简化的等高线图可作为在牙科实践中创建人体工程学解决方案的设计限制。
