Dental Technologies and Innovations

The field of dentistry is changing dramatically with the advent of new technologies. The prudent clinician will consider and, if necessary adjust to these advancements but only after having a thorough understanding of the legal issues.

Digital radiography, as an example has replaced X-rays with tools that provide a more precise image while giving patients less radiation. Intraoral cameras can also enable dentists to take clear photos of areas that are difficult to see within the oral cavity. This helps patients better understand their treatment options and allows them to take better treatment at home.

Other advancements include CAD/CAM systems that make it possible to create custom-made crowns and bridges, without the need for messy traditional molds. Dental lasers can be used to serve a variety of functions for example, the painless detection of cavities and precise gum contouring. The creation of biomaterials that are more resistant to wear and tear, and that can be matched in color and transparency to the natural teeth of patients and offers new options for tooth restoration and periodontal disease treatment.

Teledentistry offers much-needed access to dentistry for those with disabilities, the elderly, and those living in remote areas. A telehealth platform enables dentists to capture images and make notes on clinical procedures and consult with patients using video chat software. 3D printing is also revolutionizing dental labs by allowing them to print custom surgical guides and prosthetics. This can reduce the time of turnaround and allows for improved, more accurate-fitting restorations.
