The Role of Artificial Intelligence Models in Predicting Post-Prosthetic Facial Esthetics in Edentulous Patients: Clinical and Anthropometric Comparative Study
Objectives Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in esthetic dentistry; however, its accuracy in predicting post-prosthetic facial outcomes in edentulous patients remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the ability of AI models to simulate post-denture facial esthetics compared with actual clinical outcomes. Materials and methods A prospective within-subject observational study was conducted on 14 completely edentulous patients receiving new complete dentures. Standardized facial photographs we…
AI models Gemini and FaceApp generated post-denture facial images rated as esthetically comparable to actual clinical outcomes by patients and experts.
AI simulations failed to accurately reproduce quantitative facial anthropometric changes after denture placement despite visual similarity.
Findings based on only 14 completely edentulous patients in a single within-subject observational design, limiting generalizability and statistical power.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0938 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
