“We will make digital dentistry available to anyone who wishes to integrate it into their practice.” With this idea, Miguel Del Moral, creator of NemoSG and Vice-President of Software Development at Nemotec, summarizes a vision centred on two pillars: simplicity and power applied to day-to-day clinical practice.
Along these lines, Del Moral explains that previous solutions such as NemoCeph and NemoFAB were precursors to what he is driving today: Nemo Smile Generation, a tool created to strengthen the link between technology and clinical experience.
What is Nemo Smile Generation and why was it created?
Del Moral expresses it directly: Nemo Smile Generation was created to help clients communicate treatment plans more effectively and achieve higher patient acceptance.
This approach emphasizes clinical communication: turning treatment plans into something more visual, understandable and convincing for the patient.
Learning curve: a tool designed to be simple
One of the most recurring points in his explanation is simplicity. Del Moral states that this simplicity was the foundation of the design and that any dentist can use it. He even specifies the training time: “the time needed to train a doctor is 5 minutes, no more.”
In addition, he reinforces the positioning of NemoSG as a communication tool with a forceful statement: “the simplest communication tool to use on the market.”
Advantages of using NemoSG in daily practice
Two major advantages stand out:
1) More efficient communication of the treatment plan
The first is having highly efficient support for communicating the treatment plan. He points out that, visually and realistically, it is “enlightening” for a better understanding of the treatment, and that this realism generates a “Wow!” effect that impacts the patient.
2) Reduced preparation and planning time
The second advantage is operational: NemoSG drastically reduces preparation and planning times. As he explains, this increases the acceptance of treatment plans during first appointments and saves costs by reducing the time spent on both case preparation and treatment-plan execution.
Artificial intelligence in NemoSG: what it automates
At NemoSG, artificial intelligence is not a minor addition: Del Moral states that it is the fundamental engine. He indicates that NemoSG uses deep learning and generative AI, and lists tasks it performs using AI:
- Processing intraoral scans
- Automatically generating printable models
- Segmenting and separating gums from crowns
- Registering 3D entities with clinical photographs
- Performing automatic setups
- Generating realistic photographs of those setups
He also points out that, in addition to AI, 3D technologies are involved (graphics, image processing, frontend and backend), backed by more than 30 years of clinical software development at Nemotec.
Barriers to implementing NemoSG: requirements and conditions
Regarding implementation in daily practice, Del Moral maintains that there are no barriers because it is a simple tool “within anyone’s reach”, regardless of age or experience using software.
Even so, he sets specific conditions:
- It is a web-based tool, so it requires a high-quality internet connection
- It requires the doctor to use quality records, with good photographs and good intraoral scans
He also defines it as an affordable tool, “within reach of any budget” for dental clinics anywhere in the world.
Vision of the future: simplicity and power as a roadmap
The vision he sets out is clear: to make digital dentistry accessible to anyone who wants to integrate it. He adds that they will continue to launch new versions of NemoSG and other products with that same vision of “simplicity and power”.
