The effective placement of implants is limited by factors such as uneven bone stiffness, age-related bone loss in the elderly, and delayed bone repair. 




There is a need for creative and useful patient-specific solutions because the current techniques for assessing bone stiffness are frequently invasive, computationally expensive, or inaccurate.
Innovate AI Model for Precision Dental Surgery
To solve this, Drs. Zhou and Lee are creating a hybrid machine-learning model that is guided by biomechanical physics.By combining governing physics, a strong machine learning framework, and experimentally recorded bone deformation data, their method allows for accurate, individualized predictions of mechanical stress in the bone.
To maximize bone healing and guarantee long-term implant success, this innovation offers an effective tool for patient-specific dental surgery planning.
