Solution Overview
Problem
Existing dental devices for restoration parts lack operability improvements without compromising the quality of dental restoration parts, particularly in selecting appropriate parameters and visual aesthetics, leading to overstraining of dental technicians during less common operating situations.
Innovation Solution
A dental device utilizing image recognition to automatically detect objects via a camera, matching detected features with a database of reference objects to select the appropriate operating program, reducing the number of parameters and enhancing adaptability, allowing for high-quality restoration results with simplified operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple parameter settings are provided for different restoration situations, then adaptability to various restoration situations is improved, but device complexity and user strain increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically detects restoration parts using image recognition and selects appropriate operating programs without requiring manual parameter input. The detection device captures images of restoration parts, the evaluation unit analyzes visual characteristics, and the control unit automatically configures parameters and executes corresponding operating programs, enabling the system to serve itself rather than requiring extensive user configuration for different restoration situations
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes operational parameters automatically based on detected characteristics of restoration parts. When different restoration parts are detected through image recognition, the control unit modifies parameters such as temperature, time, and power settings to match the specific requirements of each part type, thereby adapting to various restoration situations without increasing user burden
2Ease of operation
If automatic object detection and program selection is implemented, then ease of operation is improved, but measurement precision and detection accuracy requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces manual mechanical parameter adjustment with automated optical detection and electronic processing. Instead of requiring users to manually select and configure parameters based on visual inspection, the system uses image recognition technology to automatically identify restoration parts and their characteristics, substituting mechanical user input with automated optical-mechanical detection systems
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates digital copies (images) of restoration parts and compares them against stored reference data to automatically identify part types and characteristics. By working with digital representations rather than direct physical measurement, the system achieves high detection accuracy while maintaining ease of operation through automated image processing and pattern recognition
Data Source
AI summary
The invention relates to a dentel device for the treatment of a dental restoration part, comprising at least one operating program, a storage of the dental device and at least one detection device for at least one object. The detection device can detect data of the object and this data, in particular together with an operating program associated with the object, can be stored in a storage of the dental device or can be compared to the data of objects which have been stored in advance in the storage of the dental device. The dental device, depending on the comparison result of the data of a detected object with the data of objects which have been stored in advance in the storage of the dental device, starts the associated operating program or shows it for selection.
