Comparison of Restoration Recommendation and Adjustment Time of AI Belong to Two Different CAD Software

Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of the in vitro study is to compare the restoration recommendation time and adjustment process of artificial intelligence (AI) belonging to two different digital design software. Materials and Methods: The maxillary right first premolar tooth was prepared for zirconia all-ceramic crown restoration in a phantom model (n=26). Then, models were scanned using an intraoral scanner, and the opposing arch, and the right- and left-sided occlusions were also recorded. Data were transferred to two computer-aided design software programs (Group Exocad and Group 3Shape) and two design processes were used. In both systems, fully anatomical monolithic zirconia crown design processes were carried out in library mode. The time taken by the AI to recommend the restoration and the time the dental technician spent adjusting the restoration were recorded and were analyzed statistically, both separately and in comparison, to one another (P<.05). Results: Statistically significant differences were found between the values of AI restoration recommendation time and dental technician restoration adjustment time according to the different software designs (P<.05). Group Exocad showed lower values than Group 3Shape (P<.001). Conclusions: Exocad provides a faster and easier restoration design in comparison with the 3Shape Dental System.

İki farklı CAD yazılımına ait yapay zekanın restorasyon öneri ve ayarlama süresinin karşılaştırılması

Abstract

Amaç: Bu in vitro çalışmanın amacı, iki farklı dijital tasarım yazılımına ait yapay zekanın restorasyon önerme sürelerini ve uyumlama sürecini karşılaştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Üst çene sağ birinci premolar diş, fantom modelde (n=26) zirkonyum tam seramik kron restorasyonu için prepare edildi. Daha sonra, modeller bir intraoral tarayıcı kullanılarak tarandı ve karşıt ark ve sağ ve sol taraflı oklüzyonlar da kaydedildi. Veriler iki farklı bilgisayar destekli tasarım yazılım programına (Grup Exocad ve Grup 3Shape) aktarıldı ve iki tasarım süreci yürütüldü. Her iki sistemde de, tamamen anatomik monolitik zirkonyum kron tasarım süreçleri kütüphane modunda gerçekleştirildi. Yapay zekanın restorasyonu önermek için harcadığı süre ve diş teknisyeninin restorasyonu uyumlamak için harcadığı süre kaydedildi ve hem ayrı ayrı hem de birbirleriyle karşılaştırılarak istatistiksel olarak analiz edildi (P<.05). Bulgular: Yapay zekanın restorasyon öneri süresi ve diş teknisyeni restorasyon ayarlama süresi değerleri arasında farklı yazılımlara göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklar bulundu (P<.05). Grup Exocad, Grup 3Shape'ten daha düşük değerler gösterdi (P<.001). Sonuçlar: Exocad, 3Shape Dental Sistemine kıyasla daha hızlı ve kolay bir restorasyon tasarımı sağlar.
