The Artificial Intelligence-Based 3D Smile Design: REBEL

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Esthetic Oral Rehabilitation with Veneers

Abstract

While some of the final aesthetic results are creating the “wow” effect, some may fail to meet the patient’s expectations due to disharmony between the smile design and the patient’s personality. The patient may feel that the restored teeth do not really “belong” to him or her. Without the proper knowledge, the origin of this disharmony can be difficult to identify.

Whether it be analog or digital, the design of a new smile is the most creative and critical part of the whole workflow, and it starts with a direct mock-up or a wax-up which will be test-driven in the patient’s mouth.

The aim of this chapter is to present a novel concept: the REBEL system, which is designed as a digital lab, that converts the 2D design into 3D and creates a digital wax-up immediately. With the help of AI, the 2D is created by the VisagiSMile concept that relates the facial perception and the personality of the patient to the smile design by applying algorithms for computing the optimal combination of the incisal silhouette, tooth axis, dominance of the centrals and the combination of individual tooth shapes out of thousands of possibilities.

Today, every dentist at any skill level can achieve such amazing smile designs with a touch of a button, hence receiving the most unique, personalized smile design that will be driven by the facial perception and the personality of the patient in 3D.
