Impact of artificial intelligence-based digital smile design on patient and clinician satisfaction and facial esthetic outcomes: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to evaluate the influence of artificial intelligence (AI)-generated Digital Smile Design (DSD) on patients and clinician satisfaction, and overall aesthetic outcomes.

Methods

A comprehensive search of PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar was conducted to identify studies (2004-2024) evaluating AI-based DSD. Eligible studies reported patient/clinician satisfaction or facial esthetic outcomes. Data were extracted on study characteristics, participant demographics, DSD type, and outcome measures. A meta-analysis of satisfaction prevalence was performed using Jamovi with a random-effects model. Methodological quality was assessed using the ROBINS-I tool, and publication bias was evaluated via rank correlation, fail-safe
