Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current dental implant planning methods are complex and time-consuming, especially when planning for multiple teeth, due to reliance on user experience and lack of efficient guidance, leading to inconsistencies and increased procedure time.
Innovation Solution
A computing system for dental implant planning that includes a detection unit for lost teeth, a first setting unit to generate and place virtual crowns based on aesthetic and functional criteria, and a user interface control unit for batch correction, optimizing implant plans for multiple teeth by setting common criteria and allowing collective optimization within defined contour lines.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If individual guidance and planning is provided for each tooth, then the reliability and accuracy of implant planning is improved, but the time and complexity of the procedure increases significantly when multiple teeth are planned simultaneously
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple individual tooth guidance processes into a single batch processing operation. The system generates guidance for multiple teeth simultaneously by processing a set of selected teeth together rather than individually, thereby maintaining the reliability of individual tooth planning while dramatically reducing the total time required for multi-tooth implant planning.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal guidance system that can handle different types of teeth and various implant scenarios through a single batch processing framework. The system provides multi-functional capability by adapting the same batch guidance mechanism to work across diverse dental implant cases, eliminating the need for separate individual guidance procedures for each tooth type.
2Manufacturing precision
If individual guidance and planning is provided for each tooth, then the accuracy of implant placement is improved, but the complexity of the procedure increases when multiple teeth are planned simultaneously
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple individual guidance operations into a unified batch processing system. By combining the guidance generation for multiple teeth into a single procedural framework, the system maintains the precision needed for accurate implant placement while reducing the overall procedural complexity that would arise from managing multiple separate guidance processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the complex multi-tooth planning process into distinct phases: selection of teeth for batch processing, generation of batch guidance, and application of guidance to multiple teeth. This segmentation allows the system to manage complexity by breaking down the overall procedure into manageable steps while maintaining high accuracy through consistent application of guidance principles across all selected teeth.
3Adaptability or versatility
If experience-based individual planning is used for each tooth, then flexibility in handling specific cases is improved, but consistency and reliability across different users deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables the system to automatically generate batch guidance for multiple teeth without requiring manual individual planning for each tooth. This self-service capability maintains flexibility by allowing the system to adapt to different case requirements while ensuring consistency through automated, standardized guidance generation that eliminates user-dependent variations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms that allow the batch guidance system to learn from and adapt to specific case characteristics while maintaining overall consistency. The system uses feedback from the selection and processing of multiple teeth to refine its guidance generation, ensuring both adaptability to specific cases and reliability across different users through consistent algorithmic decision-making.
