Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Digital technologies are making significant changes to modern orthodontics by allowing more precise diagnoses, treatments tailored to each patient and smooth clinical workflows. Improvements in digital imaging, three-dimensional data acquisition, computer-aided design and manufacturing, artificial intelligence and virtual treatment simulation have greatly improved the predictability and quality of care in orthodontics.
This Special Issue, entitled “Advanced in Digital Orthodontics”, will focus on presenting the recent scientific and clinical advances regarding digital applications in orthodontics. Innovative technologies, clinical outcomes regarding digital means in orthodontic diagnosis, treatment planning, appliance construction and treatment follow-up will be the main subjects of this issue. Original research papers, systematic reviews and high-quality clinical investigations are invited, while evidence-based approaches and translational research linking technology to clinical practice should be emphasized.
This Special Issue aims to update clinicians, researchers and academics on state-of-the-art concepts in digital orthodontics and to present future perspectives and challenges in this fast-evolving specialty.
Prof. Dr. Michele D'Attilio
Guest Editor
