Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the introduction of the dental computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) system, dental prostheses can be fabricated using a digital workflow through three-dimensional (3D) data acquisition, CAD, and CAM processing as opposed to the conventional workflow involving a manual process using the lost wax technique. Prior to the introduction of intraoral scanners, the digital workflow was used to fabricate a gypsum cast through impression taking in the patient's mouth and to obtain a virtual model using a desktop 3D scanner. The intraoral scanner, on the other hand, can acquire a virtual model through direct optical scanning of the patient's mouth. The introduction and development of intraoral scanners have led to a significant increase in the demand for digital workflows.
This Special Issue aims to cover recent advances in the development and application of these technologies in digital dentistry, dental CAD/CAM, 3D scanner, and prosthodontics. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: digital dentistry; dental CAD/CAM; 3D scanner; CAD software; 3D analysis for accuracy; and prosthodontics.
