Methodological Proposal to Determine a Suitable Implant for a Single Dental Failure Through CAD Geometric Modelling

摘要

The integration of different areas of knowledge to reach new technological solutions has become a reality. This integration has been improving the surgical process of dental implant applying the concepts and methods of the product engineering. In this context, this work proposes a methodology to determine a dental implant for a single dental failure through CAD geometric modelling. This article presents two case studies of single dental failure located between two teeth, which validate the proposed methodology using the expert system developed in the Matlab environment applying the Product Engineering principles inside the Concurrent Engineering settings. The results demonstrate the methodology potential in offer support to the dentistry in the pursuit of the dental implant set determination more adequate to the patient.
