Agreement between digitally predicted and clinically verified occlusal contacts in computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacture (CAD-CAM) occlusal devices: A cross-sectional study
AI-assisted CAD-CAM workflows demonstrated progressively higher predictive accuracy as occlusal contact intensity increased, with high-intensity contacts showing the most consistent correspondence with clinical markings. In contrast, the reduced accuracy and greater variability observed for low-intensity contacts-particularly in posterior regions-underscore the continued necessity of clinical verification during device adjustment.
