Dental Technologies and Innovations

come costruire la tua strategia di investimento

The dental field is changing dramatically as a result of new technologies. The experienced dentist will take into consideration and, if appropriate, adapt to these technologies but only after having an understanding of the legal issues.

For instance the X-rays were replaced with digital radiography tools which offer more precise imaging and less radiation exposure. In addition, intraoral cameras enable dentists to obtain clear images of areas that are difficult to see in the oral cavity. This allows patients to be more informed about the options available to them and assist them in taking better care of their own oral health at home.

Other advancements include CAD/CAM technology that allow for the creation of custom-made crowns and bridges, without the need for messy traditional molds. Dental lasers can be utilized for a variety of purposes including non-invasive cavity detection and precise gum contouring. Biomaterials that are more durable and can be customized to the color and transparency of a patient’s smile provide new solutions to periodontal disease and tooth restoration.

Teledentistry enables the disabled, elderly and people living in remote areas to gain access to dental services. The use of a telehealth platform allows dentists to record images and take notes and consultations with patients via video chat software. Dental labs are also being transformed through 3D printing. This allows them to print custom-made prosthetics and surgical guide. This reduces the time of turnaround and allows for improved restorations that are more precise and accurate.
