CAD (computer-aided-design)/CAM (computer-aided-manufacturing) dentistry is a field of dentistry and prosthodontics that is used to design and improve dental restorations. Using CAD/CAM technology, dentists and dental laboratories provide patients with dental prostheses (crowns, crown lays, veneers, inlays, and onlays), fixed dental prostheses (bridges), dental implant-supported restorations, dentures (removable or fixed), and orthodontic appliances.
Promising Prospects of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the Dental CAD/CAM Market
The advent of AI-powered CAD/CAM systems has been instrumental in streamlining the process of designing and manufacturing dental restorations. AI-powered CAD/CAM systems use advanced algorithms to analyze a patient-s dental scans and produce accurate digital models of their teeth. The digital models are then used to make customized restorations that fit the patient-s unique anatomy and bite. These systems offer advantages such as precision, comfort, functional restoration, reduced chances of complications, and the need for adjustments or replacements. Citing the lucrative prospects of AI in dental CAD/CAM systems, players are incessantly striving to launch innovative products in the market.
For instance:
- In March 2023, Planmeca introduced new AI-based tools for Planmeca Romexis. Planmeca Romexis is a flexible and powerful software platform that offers an extensive range of tools for dental imaging, diagnosis, and treatment planning for all indications and dental specialties. It supports the most versatile range of 2D and 3D imaging, CAD/CAM work and provides an all-in-one solution for all specialties and clinics of all sizes
- In November 2022, Korean startup Imagoworks launched AI-based web dental CAD 3Dme Crown. 3Dme Crown is an automatic crown design module of 3Dme Solutions, Imagoworks- AI-based web dental solutions. Based on the patient-s 3D scan data, using AI technology, the crown prosthesis design that is most suitable for the patient-s oral environment is generated in seconds
