Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Digital dentistry is evolving rapidly and new techniques and applications are introduced every day. Digital implantology is also advancing in leaps and bounds. The latter comprises the use of CBCT and intra-oral scanners, static or dynamic guided implant surgery, 3D-printing surgical guides, 3D-printed provisional implant-supported crowns, etc. The implementation of these digital tools in implantology has led to faster, more predictable, and more straightforward treatment protocols. On the other hand, due to this rapid evolution, many of these newly introduced techniques, protocols, and printed materials are not yet discussed in science. Therefore, we are proud to introduce a Special Issue of Applied Sciences: ‘Digitalization in Dental and Oral Implantology’.
