The dental industry is experiencing significant changes due to the development of new technologies and innovations. The prudent clinician will consider and, if needed adapt to these new technologies however only after an understanding of legal issues.
For instance, X-rays have been replaced by digital radiography devices that offer more precise visualisation and less radiation exposure. In addition, intraoral cameras enable dentists to obtain well-defined images of hard-to-see regions in the oral cavity. This helps patients better understand their treatment options and help them take better treatment at home.
Other innovations include CAD/CAM systems that allow for the creation of custom-made bridges and crowns, without the necessity of messy molds. Dental lasers are used for a variety of purposes that include precision gum contouring, painless detection of cavities, and many more. The creation of biomaterials more resistant to wear and tear, and can be matched in translucency and color to the patient’s natural teeth is a new approach to restoration of teeth and periodontal treatment.
Teledentistry allows the elderly, disabled, and remote populations to access dental care. The use of a telehealth platform allows dentists to record images and record clinical notes and consultations with patients via video chat software. 3D printing is also revolutionizing dental laboratories which can print custom surgical guides and prosthetics. This speeds up time-to-market and allows for better precision-fitting and accurate restorations.
