Digital Dentistry & Material Science: Sculpting the Future of Oral Care- A Narrative Review
This review examines the dynamic intersection of digital dentistry and material science, exploring current trends and advancements shaping modern dental practice.
The integration of digital technologies, including intraoral scanners, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems, has revolutionized diagnostic and restorative workflows. Concurrently, material science innovations, particularly in ceramics, composites, and 3D printing resins, are expanding the possibilities for dental restorations and prostheses.
This review analyzes the accuracy, efficiency, and clinical outcomes associated with these technologies and materials, emphasizing the impact on patient care. It further explores the integration of digital workflows, including virtual treatment planning and teledentistry, and discusses the role of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), VR in future dental applications.
By synthesizing current research and clinical evidence, this review provides a comprehensive overview of the evolving landscape of digital dentistry and material science, highlighting the potential for enhanced precision, predictability, and patient satisfaction in dental treatments, while also addressing current limitations and future directions.
