From Full and Partial Intraoral Scans to Crown Proposal: A Classification-Guided Restoration Assistance Pipeline

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2605.15241v1 Announce Type: cross Single-unit crown restoration is among the most common procedures in clinical dentistry, with CAD/CAM workflows now designing crowns directly from intraoral scans. Partial scans are often preferred over full-arch scans for single-unit cases due to fewer stitching errors, yet most segmentation networks trained on full arches fail on partial scans, while end-to-end generative crown methods often produce over-smoothed surfaces that lose occlusal detail.
