Life Cycle Assessment Data for Conventional vs Digital Dental Crown Fabrication

Nicolas Martin's dataset supports a Life Cycle Assessment comparing environmental impacts of conventional and digital workflows for fabricating lithium disilicate and zirconia dental crowns. The repository includes sensitivity analyses to evaluate input changes and optimize outcomes for mitigating environmental impact in dental healthcare. The data was last updated on May 8, 2026.

Use Cases

• Compare environmental impacts of conventional versus digital dental crown fabrication based on the described LCA.
• Perform sensitivity analyses on LCA inputs to understand model variability based on the described methodology.
• Identify key environmental impact factors in dental crown production workflows based on the comparative assessment.
• Optimize dental fabrication workflows to mitigate environmental impact based on the described optimization goal.

Strengths

• Includes sensitivity analyses to evaluate how changes in inputs affect the LCA model.
• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• Repository contains supporting files in multiple formats (JPG, DOCX, XLSX).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
