Dental Technologies and Innovations

The dental field is experiencing significant changes due to the development of new technology and innovations. The experienced dentist takes into consideration and, if appropriate, adapts to these technologies but only after a thorough comprehension of the legal aspects that are involved.

For example the X-rays were replaced by digital radiography tools that offer more precise visualisation and less radiation exposure. In addition, intraoral cameras enable dentists to get clear images of hard-to-see areas in the oral cavity. This helps patients better understand the options for treatment and help them take better treatment at home.

CAD/CAM systems are a different innovation that enables the design of custom-made bridges and crowns without the use of messy traditional molds. Dental lasers are being used to serve a variety of functions such as precise gum contouring, painless tooth detection, and much more. The development of biomaterials that are more resistant to wear and tear, and that can be matched in appearance and color to the patient’s natural teeth and offers new options for restoration of teeth and periodontal treatment.

Teledentistry enables the disabled, elderly, and remote populations to gain access to dental services. The use of a telehealth platform allows dentists to capture images and conduct clinical notes and consultations with patients via video chat software. 3D printing has also transformed dental labs by allowing them to print custom prosthetics and surgical guides. This speeds up turnaround times and enables improved, more accurate-fitting restorations.
