Summary
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming digital removable partial dentures (RPDs) from simple digital tools to intelligent systems. AI enhances RPD design and clinical decision-making for better patient outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Prosthodontics
- Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare
Background:
- Digital removable partial denture (RPD) technology has evolved from partial digital substitution to full-process digital intelligent empowerment.
- Initial digital advancements improved efficiency and accuracy but did not fully resolve complex design and clinical outcome challenges.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review the application and efficacy of artificial intelligence (AI) in the digital clinical diagnosis and treatment of RPDs.
- To explore the clinical value and future prospects of AI in advancing RPD prosthodontics.
Main Methods:
- Review of current AI applications in RPD clinical consultation, diagnostic/therapeutic assistance, and RPD design.
- Analysis of AI's integration of expert experience and clinical data for quantitative models.
Main Results:
- AI enables data-driven quantitative models by integrating expert experience and clinical data.
- AI supports clinicians and technicians, advancing RPD restoration towards intelligent decision support.
- AI addresses complex design challenges, moving beyond simple digital substitution.
Conclusions:
- AI represents a significant shift in RPD prosthodontics towards intelligent empowerment.
- AI technology holds substantial clinical value and promising development prospects for RPD treatment.
