With Artificial Intelligence entering every aspect of healthcare, the already increasingly digitized field of Implant Dentistry has become a testing ground for new tools. But what is in the core of this “artificial intelligence” revolution and how different is it
Is the implant emergence profile important for success of treatment? A wide mucosal emergence angle of the implant prosthesis can increase by as much as 30 times the risk for inflammation of the peri-implant tissue, as shown by a recent
Artificial Intelligence starts when an algorithm becomes able to programme and re-programme itself, thus be able to perform tasks for which it was not originally programmed to do or could not be performed with it’s original code. This implies a
Half a dozen major dynamic navigation systems focused in implant dentistry are now in the market, two of which are backed by leading implant manufacturers Straumann and Nobel Biocare. All systems use in principle the same optical tracking technology, but
