Artificial Intelligence-Driven Automated Design of Anterior and Posterior Crowns Under Diverse Occlusal Scenarios.
Article in Journal of esthetic and restorative dentistry : official publication of the American Academy of Esthetic Dentistry ... [et al.], 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo evaluate the impact of occlusion type and artificial intelligence-based computer-aided design (CAD) software on the geometric accuracy and clinical quality of auto-generated anterior and posterior crown designs.
methodsFive typodont models representing various occlusion types (normal, Class I anterior diastema, Class II division 1, Class II division 2, and Class III anterior crossbite occlusion) underwent crown preparation for the maxillary right central incisor and first molar. Ten sets of intraoral scans were obtained from each prepared model, and crown designs were automatically generated using two software programs: deep learning-based (DL; Dentbird) and conventional automated (CA; Auto Workflow, 3Shape) (n = 10). Surface deviations between the crown designs and preoperative tooth morphology were quantified using root mean square (RMS) values. Clinical crown quality was assessed using World Dental Federation (FDI) criteria. Scheirer-Ray-Hare and Fisher's exact tests were conducted (α = 0.05).
resultsSignificant differences in surface deviation and clinical quality were observed between the various occlusion and software types. The DL group demonstrated higher RMS values than the CA group (p < 0.001). However, DL-generated crowns were of significantly better clinical quality (FDI scores) than CA-generated crowns, particularly for posterior teeth, in terms of marginal adaptation, proximal contacts, and anatomical form and contour (p < 0.05). The DL group demonstrated generally favorable outcomes when designing crowns for normal occlusion, but outcomes were less satisfactory when designing anterior crowns with diastemas.
conclusionsOcclusal scenarios influenced the surface deviation and quality of auto-generated anterior and posterior crown designs. DL software produced higher-quality molar designs than CA software. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Automated crown design outcomes depend on occlusal scenarios and CAD software selection. DL-based CAD software demonstrated superior clinical quality, particularly for posterior crowns, indicating higher clinical suitability. However, further software refinement is needed to consistently produce clinically acceptable crowns under diverse occlusal conditions, such as anterior diastemas.
