Morphology in Oral Rare Syndromes & Artificial Intelligence for Clinical Diagnosis
France240 participantsStarted 2026-09-01
Plain-language summary
MOSAIC aims to determine whether oro-dental morphological anomalies, particularly palatal morphology, associated with rare bone and cartilage diseases can be precisely characterized using 3D digital models analysed through geometric morphometrics. The study will also evaluate whether these morphological signatures can train an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm to classify syndromes. A prospective monocentric case-control cohort will be constituted, including 3D intra-oral scans and associated clinical data. The final goal is to improve diagnostic accuracy and reduce diagnostic delay in rare bone disorders.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* For cases: Diagnosis of a rare bone and cartilage disorder confirmed by the Rare Disease Competence Center for Constitutional Bone Disorders (MOC) or Calcium and Phosphate Metabolism Disorders (CaP), genetically and/or clinically.
* Ability to undergo a 3D intra-oral scan;
* Ability of the participant to understand the information notice provided regarding the use of their medical data and 3D digital models for research purposes, and to express informed non-objection to participation in the research.
* For controls: healthy adults recruited in the Dental Medicine Department.
Exclusion Criteria:
* History of major orthodontic/orthognathic treatment;
* Craniofacial conditions unrelated to the studied diseases (e.g., cleft palate, non-target craniofacial syndromes);
* Impossibility to obtain a 3D optical impression;
* Refusal or inability of the participant to understand the information notice and/or to express informed non-objection to participation in the research.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
