exocad, an Align Technology, Inc. company, has introduced DentalCAD 3.3 Chemnitz service release 2 (SR2), expanding the software's artificial intelligence capabilities for dental restoration design. The update includes AI Design batch submission, automated margin line detection, and AI-assisted crown design incorporating occlusal considerations.
The AI Design batch submission feature allows dental laboratory professionals to submit multiple cases simultaneously through DentalDB rather than processing each case individually. Completed results can be reviewed online through my.exocad. According to the company, the feature is intended to simplify AI-assisted workflows for users managing higher case volumes.
The service release also introduces AI-powered margin line detection, which automatically identifies and traces crown preparation margins from three-dimensional digital scans. The feature is designed to reduce the manual work involved in defining preparation margins during restoration design.
Another addition, AI crowns in occlusion, analyzes digital scans of a patient s bite to assist with restoration design. According to exocad, the feature incorporates the Curve of Spee into crown design to help maintain occlusal relationships and the distribution of forces during function.
Beyond its AI capabilities, DentalCAD 3.3 Chemnitz SR2 includes improvements to implant detection, integration with 3D printer computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software, and webview export.
The update also incorporates Microsoft .NET 10, which exocad states will provide continued security support for the software's underlying framework.
