The Changing World of Digital Dentistry

Synopsis

Digital dentistry has revolutionized the way dental professional provide patient care with
precision, efficiency, and accessibility. Without a doubt, dentistry is quickly modernizing
and transitioning to digital technology. In the past, taking dental impression, making dental
models, and assembling dental laboratory prostheses took a lot of time. However, the
advent of the intraoral scanner, digital radiography, computer-aided design
(CAD)/computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), 3D printers, and artificial intelligence (AI)
software has revolutionized the field of dentistry today. In recent years, digital technologies
have significantly changed the clinical approach to medicine and dentistry. Innovative
operative techniques and restorative materials have paved the way to a significant active
boost towards full digital workflows.
