Feasibility and accuracy of single maxillary molar designed by an implicit neural network (INN)‐based model: A comparative study

This study demonstrated the feasibility and accuracy of the proposed INN-based POCO-PointMLP model for automating the digital crown designs of maxillary first molars. The INN-based model-generated digital crown designs showed comparable 3D deviations to the ones designed by experienced human laboratory technicians, presenting a novel and efficient artificial neural network architecture for tooth digital design tasks with the expansion of training datasets, refined training hyperparameters, and integrated comprehensive assessments.

Abstract

This study demonstrated the feasibility and accuracy of the proposed INN-based POCO-PointMLP model for automating the digital crown designs of maxillary first molars. The INN-based model-generated digital crown designs showed comparable 3D deviations to the ones designed by experienced human laboratory technicians, presenting a novel and efficient artificial neural network architecture for tooth digital design tasks with the expansion of training datasets, refined training hyperparameters, and integrated comprehensive assessments.
