Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 1
Cégep de Sainte-Foy
$25,000.00
Dental CAD software component testing and evaluation
FY 2019-20
Summary
Kerenor Dental Studio was established in March 2001 by Haim Keren, a second-generation dental technician. In 2007 Kerenor became first North American full Zirconia lab, which means that they stopped using any metal for the creation of dental restoration. This was a significant innovation over the traditional method and required a lot of research, experimentation, new technologies and materials as it was a very new field in dentistry. Kerenor Dental Studio wants to develop a custom dental Computer Aided Design software using Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based algorithms to automate and increase the quality of dental restoration without relying on highly specialized dental technicians having years of experience. This software would help bring the highest quality restorations to a much greater number of patients than what Kerenor can currently do.Besides the AI component, the proposed CAD software will require high quality visualization, surface modeling and advanced 3D user manipulation capabilities. As the choice of these components can have a huge and lasting impact on the software development schedule and final quality, it is very important that Kerenor chooses the best components available. This SEP project suggests doing just that.
