Clinical Evaluation of AI-Generated Dental Crowns

Resumen breve

This clinical research validates a fully automatic AI algorithm for dental crown design using GANs trained on University of Hong Kong 3D prosthesis data and AI-powered FEA for stress correction, overcoming CAD/CAM limitations like manual technician time and occlusal errors. In-vitro fatigue tests confirmed performance comparable to conventional crowns. Clinically, AI-designed crowns are compared to technician CAD/CAM controls using 10 FDI criteria (aesthetic/functional/biological), assessed via oral exams, and IOS (wear), to prove feasibility and optimize the algorithm.
