Natural tooth anatomy
Develop restoration designs that consider tooth morphology and the needs of the individual case.
Occlusal review
Include professional technician or clinician review before a design moves into production.
How the Digital Dental Crown Design Workflow Works
A structured digital restorative workflow helps laboratories and dental teams move from case records to a reviewable restoration design. DBT Technology supports the design and coordination stages while keeping professional review at the center of the process.
- Case submission. The dental team or laboratory provides the available digital scans, restoration prescription and relevant case instructions.
- AI-assisted restoration design. A crown, onlay or inlay design is prepared with attention to the submitted preparation, margin information, neighbouring anatomy and opposing dentition.
- Professional review. A qualified dental professional or dental technician reviews the proposed design, contacts and occlusion, and requests adjustments where needed.
- Approved-design coordination. Once approved, the digital design can move into the agreed production and quality-control workflow.
Digital Records and Design Instructions
The information required depends on the restoration and the agreed service scope. A crown-design case commonly uses:
- A clear preparation scan with usable margin information.
- The opposing arch and an accurate bite relationship.
- The requested restoration type, material and relevant space requirements.
- Instructions for proximal contacts, occlusal contacts, morphology and case-specific priorities.
- Shade or aesthetic references when they are relevant to the requested workflow.
AI-enabled tools can support design consistency and workflow efficiency, but they do not replace professional assessment. The treating dental professional and responsible laboratory remain accountable for the prescription, final design approval, material selection and clinical suitability.
AI Dental Crown Design FAQ
What is AI-assisted dental crown design?
AI-assisted dental crown design uses digital tools to help prepare a restoration proposal from submitted case records. The proposed design still requires review and approval by an appropriately qualified dental professional or dental technician.
Which restoration types can be discussed?
DBT's current digital restorative workflow describes crown, onlay and inlay design. The practical scope, material requirements and production route are confirmed for each collaboration.
What files are normally needed for crown design?
A case commonly requires a preparation scan, opposing-arch scan, bite relationship and restoration prescription. Additional photographs, shade information or design instructions may be requested when relevant.
Who approves the final restoration design?
The final design is reviewed and approved by the responsible qualified dental professional or dental technician before it proceeds to production.
Can an approved design connect to a production workflow?
Approved digital designs can be coordinated with an agreed production and quality-control workflow. DBT confirms the available scope and responsibilities before implementation.
