In the heart of Israel's bustling tech scene, a company that has already transformed lives with its innovations in the field of dental medicine is preparing to unveil its next breakthrough.
Abracadabra, the Israeli dental technology startup founded by Dr. Ian Harel and Dani Younisian, is developing an artificial intelligence-powered system that promises to revolutionize how dental implant restorations are planned and delivered.
The new cloud-based platform, known as AbraCAD, represents a significant leap forward in implant restoration design and planning. Unlike existing dental planning tools, AbraCAD will automatically integrate multiple sources of patient data - from CT scans to facial scans and intraoral imagery - to create what the company calls a "digital twin" of the patient. This comprehensive approach allows for unprecedented precision in planning both the implant placement and the subsequent prosthetic restoration.
"Current digital solutions in dentistry simply replicate manual workflows in a digital environment," explains Dr. Vladi Dvoyris, the company's Chief Information Officer. "What makes our system unique is its ability to consider the patient's complete anatomical and functional characteristics, automatically calculating optimal implant positions and designing the ideal prosthetic solutions that will be supported by these implants. Instead of sculpting structures in 3D like the good old dental labs, we use precise design strategies adopted from the automotive and aerospace realms."
