Ultrasound echoes turning into points and then a 3D model of the arch

S-WAVE Software

The Software Behind Every Scan

From the scan at home to your dentist’s review: how the S-WAVE™ software is being designed.

Concept only. The S-WAVE™ software does not exist yet. The screens below are design concepts with sample data; features, phases and data commitments describe intent and may change. S-WAVE™ is in development, has not been tested in people and is not cleared or approved by the FDA.

Workflow

From Scan to Shared Plan

  1. 01

    Capture

    One full-arch ultrasound scan with the tray.

  2. 02

    Reconstruct

    AI turns the echoes into a 3D model in seconds.

  3. 03

    Analyse

    Findings flagged for the clinician to review.

  4. 04

    Plan

    Measure, chart and plan implants on the model.

  5. 05

    Share

    Export STL/DICOM, send to specialists and patients.

Capture

Phase 1

Live Scan Guidance

The software guides every scan as it happens, so the first scan is a usable scan — no retakes, no guesswork for the assistant.

  • Live coverage map that fills in tooth by tooth
  • Signal quality and tray seating checks in real time
  • Clear prompts when an area needs a moment longer

Phase 1

3D Viewer with Tissue Layers

Ultrasound sees below the surface. Turn layers on and off, slice through any tooth and measure in tenths of a millimetre.

  • Enamel, roots, gums, bone and implants as separate layers
  • Cross-sections through any tooth, any angle
  • Distance, angle and thickness measurements

Phase 2

AI Findings, Clinician in Control

AI looks at every scan the same careful way and points out what deserves a second look. Each finding shows where, how much and how sure — the dentist decides.

  • Bone level, gum recession and soft-tissue changes
  • Confidence score and exact location for each finding
  • Accept, dismiss or edit — every decision is logged

Phase 2

Periodontal Charting in Seconds

Pocket depths and gum levels are measured from the scan and filled into a standard perio chart — no probing round, no dictation.

  • Six sites per tooth, buccal and lingual
  • Problem sites highlighted automatically
  • Edit any value by hand before saving

Implant Planning

Bone width, height and soft tissue are measured where the implant will go, with the distance to the nerve always in view.

  • Bone and soft-tissue measurements at the site
  • Implant size suggestion with safety margins
  • Plan export for surgical guides

Compare Scans Over Time

Radiation-free means you can scan at every visit. The software lines up two scans and shows exactly what changed.

  • Automatic alignment of scans from different visits
  • Change map in millimetres
  • Progress charts patients understand

Phase 3

Saliva & Breath Biomarkers

A lab-on-chip cartridge reads saliva and breath markers chairside and adds them to the patient’s record next to the scan.

  • pH, inflammation markers, glucose and breath VSCs
  • Results in minutes, trends across visits
  • Early warning for gum disease and systemic risk
