Researchers at the University of Hong Kong have developed a new approach using artificial intelligence (AI) to automate the design of individualized dentures. This new approach has the potential to enhance treatment efficiency and improve the patient experience.
The AI technology used in the process is based on a 3D Generative Adversarial Network (3D-GAN) algorithm. This algorithm was able to reconstruct the shape of a naturally healthy tooth and automate the process of false teeth design with high accuracy in a preliminary study.
The new approach only requires the digital model of a patient’s dentition to function. This means that dentists can prepare and fit false teeth in a much shorter amount of time, and patients will not need to stay at the clinic for long hours.
This new AI technology has the potential to revolutionize the denture design process and make it more efficient and convenient for both patients and dentists.
