For several months, Diagnocat has upgraded its CBCT analysis platform to a Version 2, which is significantly more demanding in terms of precision—a change that directly interests endodontics, a sector long neglected by algorithms calibrated for the broad fields of implantology.
Endoboutik, official reseller of Diagnocat licenses in France, reviews what this tool concretely brings to the daily life of a dental practice.
A Version 2 finally calibrated for small and medium fields
The first iteration of Diagnocat, recognizable by its clear interface, was primarily aimed at implantologist colleagues, accustomed to working on large acquisition fields. Endodontics, however, requires a completely different finesse: small and medium fields, reduced voxels, complex root canal anatomies.
To become relevant in this area, the publisher had to deeply revise its calculation algorithms. The result: a Version 2, identifiable by its dark interface, now capable of recognizing some sixty pathologies, including about twenty strictly endodontic ones (resorptions, over- and under-obturation, apical lesions, anatomical anomalies).
A decision-making aid, not an autopilot
The principle remains simple: artificial intelligence scans the image, flags what it deems suspicious, and displays a confidence percentage for each proposition. An apical lesion announced at 92% calls for almost automatic validation; a lesion assessed at 50% should, on the other hand, lead to a differential diagnosis—resorption rather than decay, for example.
A study conducted in 2025 by King's College on Version 1 of the software showed comparable concordance between a CBCT specialist and algorithmic analysis, while emphasizing that the combination of the two optimizes detection. A useful reminder: the tool refines identification, it never replaces clinical confirmation.
The CBCT report, finally treated as it deserves
This is arguably the most underestimated feature of the software. Any practitioner who prescribes and performs a CBCT has a regulatory obligation to provide a written report to the patient, or at the very least, to add it to their file.
In practice, this obligation is often rushed, due to lack of time, or delegated to external radiologists whose drafting quality remains far from what an endodontics specialist would produce in their own field of expertise.
Diagnocat automates this step: once the tooth-by-tooth analysis is validated, the software generates a complete report—up to ten pages for a large field—containing only the findings accepted by the practitioner, approved as a block or contested line by line. The document is digitally signed and exported as a PDF, ready to be added to the patient's file or the practice's professional software.
From patient communication to surgical planning
Beyond diagnosis, Diagnocat produces 3D segmentation that is a game-changer in patient communication. Making a root transparent, isolating a lesion that extends to the sinus, showing unexpected canal anatomy: these are all images that speak to the patient where a generic diagram fails.
An Anglo-Saxon study of several hundred patients measured a 23% increase in treatment acceptance rates when the 3D image is shown during consultation. For the most complex cases—impossible orthograde retreatment, lesion near a foramen—this same segmentation allows for exporting an STL file and printing a guide to secure surgical access, a valuable asset for practitioners who perform endodontic surgery.
How to access it?
Diagnocat operates in SaaS mode, by subscription, from any connected computer, tablet or smartphone — no installation required.
Endoboutik is an official reseller of Diagnocat licenses in France, offering plans adapted to exclusive or non-exclusive endodontic practice, at more accessible pricing conditions than those previously offered by the publisher. A personalized demonstration can be organized upon request from the Endoboutik team.
Frequently Asked Questions about Diagnocat:
1. Does Diagnocat replace the practitioner's interpretation?
No. The software pre-analyzes the image and flags suspicious areas with a confidence level, but each suggestion must be validated or corrected by the practitioner before being included in the report.
2. Is Diagnocat V2 suitable for small and medium field CBCTs used in endodontics?
Yes, this is precisely the contribution of Version 2: the algorithms have been recalibrated for the resolution of small and medium fields, whereas Version 1 was primarily designed for implantology and large fields.
3. Is the report generated by Diagnocat sufficient to fulfill the regulatory obligation related to CBCT?
The software generates a detailed, tooth-by-tooth report, which the practitioner validates and digitally signs before exporting as a PDF—thereby concretely fulfilling the obligation to provide a written report to the patient or their file.
4. Is a dedicated CBCT needed to use Diagnocat?
No. The software operates in SaaS mode and accepts DICOM files from any device, imported manually or via a gateway installed in the practice's viewer.
5. How can I obtain a Diagnocat license in France?
Endoboutik is an official reseller of Diagnocat licenses in France and offers subscription plans tailored to endodontics, as well as personalized demonstrations upon request.
