Digital Dentistry
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Digital dentistry has increased steadily, and it is already ubiquitous in most academic and professional fields. Almost every segment of dentistry has been revolutionized by digital technology in recent years. Digital dentistry offers significant benefits in terms of quality, improved efficiency, time savings and cost reduction. Shorter treatment times and hence more accuracy of treatment outcomes have arisen from the evolution of digital innovations in dentistry. The integration of digital technology in dentistry has opened incredible possibilities for elegant, minimally invasive solutions, designed and created in a digital world. 3D images are important not only for diagnosis but also for treatment planning. 3D planning opens the way toward a novel, accurate and biology saving dentistry that uses compatible and aesthetic solutions. The aim of this Topic Collection is to compile the most up-to-date innovative channels in dentistry to create a coherent body of evidence, applying current digital patterns for future potential innovative research. This Topic Collection invites contributions from academics, professionals, researchers, and passionate practitioners from the field of digital dentistry. Review articles, original articles and communications, emphasizing the involvement of innovative digitization in dentistry are invited. We cordially invite you to join us and welcome your submission!
