What does digital dental research cover?
Clinical digital-dentistry research has assessed CAD/CAM restorations, printed prostheses, caries detection, and implant planning.
[1]The work concerns computer-aided design and manufacturing, three-dimensional printing, and artificial intelligence used in rehabilitation of tooth defects.
[1]How are these digital tools used?
CAD/CAM, three-dimensional printed prostheses, and AI were examined in clinical studies of tooth restoration, including survival, complications, patient outcomes, and diagnostic accuracy.
[1]What results have been measured?
CAD/CAM restorations had about 90% five-year survival in the reviewed studies, a result comparable with conventional crowns.
[1]For caries detection, the assessed AI models had about 85% sensitivity and about 90% specificity.
[1]How did milled and printed dentures compare?
Milled and three-dimensional printed dentures produced similar patient satisfaction, while milled dentures had better fit and needed fewer adjustments.
[1]What may digital workflows change?
Digital workflows shortened production time and reduced costs in the clinical studies of tooth restoration that were reviewed.
[1]AI-based implant planning matched expert accuracy and reduced planning time to about 10 minutes rather than 30 minutes.
[1]What is known about safety?
No safety issues were reported in the reviewed clinical studies of CAD/CAM, printed dental prostheses, and artificial intelligence in tooth restoration.
[1]Frequently asked questions
How accurate was AI for finding caries in the reviewed studies?
The assessed AI models had about 85% sensitivity and about 90% specificity for caries detection.
