BCGA produces guidance to address oxygen supply concerns

National trade body the British Compressed Gases Association (BCGA) has produced guidance on the correct process to select authorised, licensed medical gas cylinder suppliers.

The BCGA’s specialist subcommittee for medical gases, TSC7, has drawn up the information to support a recall from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), over falsified medical oxygen.

Available at www.bcga.co.uk/bcga-issue-new-leaflet-22 the BCGA guidance is aimed at dentists, vets and First Aid Responders, as well as other professionals who purchase single cylinders of medical oxygen.

Mark Ling, MHRA Senior Criminal Enforcement Officer, said: “In May, our Criminal Enforcement Unit started an investigation into the unlawful supply of medical oxygen to a large number of dental practices across the UK. We also published a medical recall alert to raise awareness of the issue and offer advice to healthcare professionals.

“The MHRA will continue to work in collaboration with the BCGA to address the threat posed by the unlawful supply of medical oxygen to protect patient safety. Medical oxygen should only be procured from licensed manufacturers and wholesale dealers. Please report any defective or falsified medical devices via our Yellow Card Scheme website.”

BCGA Technical Manager, Jake Lake, said: “The MHRA has issued a recall notice for the falsified medicines and has also requested BCGA provide suitable guidance to help purchasers identify bona-fide, licensed suppliers. As a result, TSC7 has produced Leaflet 22, ‘Medical Gases. Selecting A Medical Gas Cylinder Supplier.’

“Medical gases are classified as medicines and can only be provided by bona fide companies, including those in BCGA membership, who have the appropriate licences, which are issued by the UK Regulator, the MHRA. Leaflet 22 provides details on the checks that should be carried out in selecting a medical gas cylinder to ensure it is legitimate, that it is for medical use and has been supplied by an authorised supplier. This is useful information for those who obtain single cylinders of medical gases, such as dentists, vets and First Aid Responders. Most hospitals and Trusts get their cylinders via contract arrangements with licensed gas suppliers and so this isn’t an area of direct concern.”

The UK membership body for the compressed gases sector, the BCGA, is committed to stringent quality, safety and environmental measures.

Its members operate in a highly regulated industry, with a focus on best practice in technical, safety, health and environmental issues.

BCGA technical subcommittee members volunteer their own expertise and insight to drive forward best practice not only in medical gases, but in other areas including Hydrogen and other gaseous fuels, chemistry and transport.

Overseen by the BCGA’s Technical Committee, the subcommittees play a key role in developing the Association’s highly regarded and free to access library of technical documents, including Codes of Practice and Guidance Notes.

These are used as a point of reference and referred to across the industry and in related sectors, both nationally and internationally.

Full details of the MHRA recall can be found at Class 3 Medicines Recall: Tricodent Limited (supplier), Medical Oxygen B.P (MEDIGAS OXYGEN B.P), EL (23)A/20 – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

The BCGA also has a dedicated Medical Gases area on its website, at https://bcga.co.uk/topics/medical-gases

Northern Gritstone leads £2 million seed funding round in dentistry software developer Mimetrik

Investment will accelerate development of Mimetrik’s three AI-driven products and create a full ‘digital pathway’ for dentists and their patients worldwide

Northern Gritstone has led a £2m seed funding round in Mimetrik, the developer of AI-driven digital dentistry products, alongside participation from angel investors with decades of experience in the dental industry. The investment will enable the company to expand its team and deliver its first three products to market.

A spin-out from the University of Leeds and based in its state-of-the-art innovation hub at Nexus, Mimetrik was founded in 2020 and builds on more than a decade of world-leading research at the University’s School of Dentistry. The company has developed 3D-scanning technology that uses machine learning to generate fully digitised images of a patient’s dentition and facial structure. Its aim is to create a full ‘digital pathway’ between dental labs and clinicians for the benefit of patients, replacing the costly, time-intensive current approach of creating physical models of each patient’s dentition, enabling more accurate and faster treatment.

With a new generation of dentists entering the profession who are more accustomed to using technology when providing dental care, it is predicted that the digital dentistry market will almost double in size to $1.8 billion by 2029.

This funding round drives a transformative shift that reimagines the boundaries of digital dentistry. It showcases the expansive potential of Mimetrik’s approach and will enable Mimetrik to bring its core products to market, which combine cutting-edge software, hardware and mobile apps.

Together, this is set to redefine the global digital dentistry market, covering dental impression scanning, occlusion, virtual articulation, and restorative treatment planning. Moreover, its software is primed to make significant advancements in preventative treatment pathways. Tackling the inherent limitations of current technologies, its solutions harness the capabilities of AI and machine learning to enhance dental procedures, improve accuracy, and expedite high-quality patient treatment. This pioneering approach not only aims to uplift the standard of dental care but also firmly establishes Mimetrik at the forefront of industry innovation.

The founding team of Professor Andy Keeling, Dr Alyn Morgan, Dr Cecilie Osnes and Professor David Wood have decades of experience working in clincial dentistry, 3D scanning and computer science, as well as collaborating with global dental manufacturers and shaping national dental policy.

Dr Alyn Morgan, Co-Founder and CEO of Mimetrik, said: “With over 30 years in clinical dentistry, I have seen first-hand the time and cost spent on traditional techniques and I believe that our products have the ability to transform the industry and ultimately ensure better patient care. Northern Gritstone’s investment is a vote of confidence in our technology and we will benefit from their advice and knowledge as we continue to grow and bring our products to market.”

Stephen Claffey, CCO of Mimetrik, said: “The ground-breaking products I’ve had the pleasure of introducing, have reshaped dentistry. With Mimetrik’s latest offering, we’re poised to surpass all previous innovations I have been involved with. Our cutting-edge technology is set to redefine digital dentistry, enhancing both restorative and preventive treatments on a global scale.”

Duncan Johnson, CEO of Northern Gritstone, said: “Mimetrik’s technology has the capacity to bring dentistry into a new age, removing unnecessary costs and time delays with their AI-driven software. It is fantastic to see the North of England producing such cutting-edge technology that can have an impact on an essential part of our lives. We look forward to working with Alyn and the Mimetrik team as they step up the development of their products.”

Dr Martin Stow, Pro Vice-Chancellor for Business Engagement and Enterprise at the University of Leeds, said: “Our world-leading research in the School of Dentistry, coupled with the collaboration opportunities provided by our innovation hub, Nexus, has enabled the University’s spin-out company Mimetrik, to develop groundbreaking new technologies to advance patient treatment. It is fantastic to see Northern Gritstone choosing to invest in the business and we hope that the funding will accelerate the company’s development to start bringing vital improvements to dental clinicians, manufacturers and patients around the globe.”

Northern Gritstone was advised by Freeths, led by partner Dahren Naidoo. Mimetrik was advised by RWK Goodman.

Should AI stay or should it go?

Back in the 1950s, Alan Turing – the father of modern computing, and according to some, the father of artificial intelligence (AI) – was grappling with concepts about thinking machines and intelligence. He devised the infamous ‘Turing test’, designed to evaluate a machine’s capability to exhibit intelligence that equals, or even rivals, that of a human.

Now, deep into the 21^st century, such concepts are our reality. With 92% of the UK population owning a smartphone,[i] the majority of individuals experience AI on a day-to-day basis, without really lending it much thought. Not only has AI permeated popular culture, but it has now gained traction in healthcare.

In recent years, AI has made considerable strides within the field of dentistry, providing dental practitioners with a potent tool for diagnosing, treating and preventing dental complications. It’s important to note that this field still has a long way to go and we are only just beginning to realise the potential of this technology. As such, dental professionals should maintain some caution when introducing solutions into their everyday lives, recognising the limitations of the today’s equipment. However, there are already several ways that dentistry is being supported with AI.

Accuracy and efficiency

Perhaps one of the most significant advantages of incorporating AI into the dental practice is the enhanced accuracy and efficiency it provides. In dentistry, successful treatment and patient safety depend upon accuracy and reliability, something which AI can contribute to. Indeed, the literature supports the argument that AI displays impressive accuracy with regards to diagnostic and prognostic evaluation.[ii] Other research concludes that AI systems are able to ‘mimic the precision and accuracy of trained specialists’.[iii]

With this level of accuracy and with the ability to analyse vast amounts of data quickly, AI algorithms allow dentists to make better-informed decisions regarding patient care. This can facilitate improved patient outcomes, faster treatment times and also reduced costs. Right now, the focus is on AI-supported treatment – the technology is not providing the answer, it is supporting and/or contributing to the clinician’s recommendations.

Optimised treatment planning s

Treatment planning is another vital aspect of dentistry. It goes without saying that a thorough treatment plan can prevent many common treatment failures,[iv] and this is another area where AI technology can enhance your practise. AI software can utilise data-driven insights to optimise treatment planning for patients, creating plans that cater to their individual needs and requirements, thus facilitating a more successful and long-lasting treatment outcome.

AI-driven concepts can also aid dentists in ascertaining whether a treatment is clinically necessary. This also provides added confidence for patients who may otherwise question the dentist’s intentions. For example, AI-driven technology has been used in studies to determine whether orthodontic treatment was necessary, with the results showing that the model was effective and demonstrated promising results with high accuracy.[v]

Enhanced patient experience

Now more than ever, the patient experience is at the forefront of dentistry. Trends and patient expectations change constantly, and the dental team are tasked with keeping one step ahead in order to manage expectations and to satisfy them.

AI concepts are helping to improve the experience for patients, both in the practice and out. Non-clinical AI tools like management software systems and automated appointment scheduling streamline the process and remove unnecessary manual steps – patients can utilise these tools to book appointments out of hours, for instance. Similarly, a chatbot is a programme that uses AI to aid patients who visit a website, answering queries and providing information that saves the patient and professional team time.

Preventative care

With an aging population and individuals retaining their natural dentition for longer, alongside the burdens to oral health like poor diet and lifestyle habits, the dental team are faced with unique challenges. Prevention is now the focus, with patient education having become an important part of keeping oral complications at bay. When patients are armed with relevant information, they can make better decisions regarding their oral health – AI can aid massively in this endeavour. Apps and devices powered by AI can support patients between appointments, such as those that provide guidance for oral hygiene habits or help to monitor the oral cavity during and post-procedure.

A final word

Turing, in his essay ‘Computing Machinery and Intelligence’, proposed the question ‘Can machines think?’,[vi]but the question today is closer to, ‘Should machines think?’. Unsurprisingly, there has been much debate on the subject of AI in dentistry. The technology is not without its challenges and potential concerns. Outstanding advancements have made AI incredibly sophisticated, but of course, as with any emerging technology, there are questions regarding ethics, data and privacy being raised. AI still requires much development and finessing, so it is possible that in the coming years these issues will be solved.

That said, AI is an enhancement tool, not a rival. Human interaction is vital in healthcare sectors, and this is something AI will be able to fully replace for quite some time, if ever.
