The Problem

Dentists miss 40-60% of
early-stage caries on X-rays.

A dentist looks at a radiograph and tries to spot dark shadows. By the time a cavity is visible, the enamel crystal structure has been degrading for months to years. Current AI approaches train neural networks to mimic what dentists see — learning to spot the same shadows, with the same blind spots. No one measures the actual structural physics.

Method	Detects	Speed	Explainable
Human Eye	Visible cavitation only	1-2 min	Subjective
CNN / Deep Learning	Shadow patterns (trained)	~2 sec	Black box
DIFOTI / Transillumination	Enamel lesions (chair-side)	5 min	Visual only
22Rx / Fractal	Crystal lattice degradation	53M px/sec	FD = 1.77 → 1.52

The Science

Tooth enamel is fractal.
We measure when it breaks.

Healthy enamel is hydroxyapatite crystals packed in a self-similar, repeating pattern with a measurable fractal dimension of ~1.77. When acid from bacteria begins demineralization, the crystal lattice degrades. The fractal dimension drops. This happens before any visible hole forms — the structure is failing while the surface still looks intact.

Validated

1,912 real dental X-rays.
3.97 billion pixels. 75 seconds.

Run on a public research dataset of panoramic dental radiographs. The engine computed fractal dimension at 14.8 million regions across every scan, building calibrated baselines from the population itself. Measured FD values match published literature for every tissue type — a clean staircase from air (1.63) through soft tissue (1.71), bone (1.72), dentin (1.73), to enamel (1.77).

Tissue (by intensity)	Regions	Fractal Dimension	Std Dev
Background / Air	3.34M	1.633	± 0.178
Soft Tissue / Pulp	4.75M	1.707	± 0.081
Trabecular Bone	4.68M	1.724	± 0.068
Dentin / Cortical Bone	1.67M	1.733	± 0.067
Enamel	404K	1.765	± 0.074

The Closed Loop

Detect. Diagnose. Predict.
Treat. Track. One visit.

Fractal imaging is one half. The 22Rx oral microbiome screen is the other. Together they close the loop that no dental company on Earth has closed — from what's breaking to why to what to do about it.

Systemic Disease

The mouth is the front door
to the rest of the body.

Published research links specific oral pathogens to systemic diseases with alarming specificity. P. gingivalis is found in 96% of Alzheimer's brain samples. F. nucleatum drives colorectal tumor growth. Every dental visit is an opportunity to screen for diseases that kill millions — through nothing more invasive than spit.

Scale

Every dentist on Earth.
No new hardware.

The engine runs locally — on the hardware you already own. Dentists upload the X-rays they're already taking. No GPU required. No new equipment. No cloud dependency. No AI subscription that can be revoked. A practice in rural Montana gets the same diagnostic capability as a research hospital. You own it. Fully. Forever.

Pricing

Own it. Or rent it.
Either way, it pays for itself.

Competitors charge $700/month for cloud AI that calls home, requires trust, and can be taken away. We think dentists should own their infrastructure. Choose what works for your practice.

We are currently in clinical validation with UNLV and select partner practices. Joining the waitlist reserves your place and locks in early-adopter pricing before general availability. No payment is collected at this stage.
