A computer program and computer-based system for remotely assessing oral health of a person by obtaining at least one digital image (1) of the person's oral cavity and additional non-image data (2) comprising anamnestic information about the person (30). The digital images (1) are segmented using statistical image segmentation algorithms (101,102) to extract visible segments (3), which are further processed to predict any invisible segments (6). The resulting segments are processed by a statistical object detection algorithm (104) using the non-image data (2) as further input to identify dental features (7), which are filtered to select only risk-related dental features (8) using a risk database (9) and mapped to respective tooth regions (11) or oral cavity regions (12) in an Oral Risk Atlas (10).
A computer program embodied on a non-transitory computer-readable medium and comprising instructions which, when the program is executed by a computer, cause the computer to:
