Technology in Dentistry
In recent years, technology has played a fundamental role in the transformation
of the dentistry. Firstly, the integration of digital images has significantly
improved diagnostic capabilities, allowing dentists to detect problems with more
precision. Moreover, advances in 3D printing have allowed the creation of
personalized dental implants, which leads to improving the results provided to
patients.
CAD/CAM Technology
Similarly, computer-assisted
design and computer-assisted
manufacturing technology
(CAD/CAM) have had a
profound impact on restorative
dentistry. Specifically, this
innovation allows the creation
of crowns, bridges, and
veneers in a single visit. In the
past, these procedures required multiple appointments and the use of
temporary restorations. Now, with CAD/CAM, dentists can design and
manufacture permanent restorations on-site, improving both the efficiency of the
practice and the comfort of the patient.
