Role of artificial intelligence in transforming prosthodontics and oral implantology: In vivo study

Abstract

The impact of AI-assisted technologies on clinical outcomes in prosthodontic rehabilitation and oral implantology is of interest. Thirty patients were divided into conventional and AI-assisted groups, with AI tools including diagnostic imaging software, virtual treatment planning and CAD/CAM prosthesis design. The AI-assisted group showed significant improvements in implant placement accuracy, prosthesis fit and patient satisfaction, alongside a 22% reduction in procedural time and fewer post-operative complications. AI integration also enhanced data analysis and communication between the clinical team and laboratory. Thus, AI improves diagnostic precision, streamlines workflows and increases treatment predictability in digital dentistry, warranting further large-scale studies.
