Digital Solutions in Dentistry as the Key to Personalized Treatment

Dear Colleagues,

Digitalization is a global phenomenon. Therefore, it also affecting clinical routines in dentistry. Nowadays, many procedures are carried out exclusively digitally. The use of specialized equipment and software that turns the oral cavity into quantifiable digital values is the revolution that dentists are experiencing.

Refined patient expectations, their desire for a thorough understanding of procedures, and the complexity of the issues that patients present in the office are forcing the dentist to personalize the patient's experience each visit. Digital tools allow the dentist to fully personalize every step of the treatment, from planning and using more image-based communication with the patient to the execution of the procedure. Personalizing by modifying standard treatment algorithms helps to increase the therapeutic success rate and is often the only way to treat a non-standard oral condition successfully.

In many areas of dentistry, such as orthodontics, dental surgery, prosthodontics, or endodontics, a number of state-of-the-art solutions are already available for accurate planning, the fabrication of devices, implants, or prosthetic restorations, as well as auxiliary tools such as insertion guides.

The world of digital dentistry deserves to be explored further, as the possibilities for implementing innovations in daily practice are endless. Therefore, the Editors invite you to submit manuscripts to this Special Issue, especially those which focus on digitalization as a major source of innovation and treatment personalization in contemporary dentistry.
