Digital dentistry involves the use of computer-based and digital dental technologies, including intra-oral scanners, CAD/CAM and 3D printing, and digital radiography. Intra-oral scanners digitally capture dental impressions, which can then be used to design and fabricate dental restorations like crowns, bridges, veneers, and dentures using CAD/CAM technology. This digital workflow eliminates the need for physical impressions and plaster models and offers benefits like increased accuracy, efficiency, and improved communication between dentists and dental technicians compared to traditional impression methods.

• Digital Dentistry involves the use of dental technology or devices which use computer based or digital components. Types of Digiotal dental technology • Intra-oral Scanners • CAD/CAM & 3D printing • Digital radiography • Intra Oral Cameras Intra-Oral Scanners • Intra oral scanners( IOS) are devices for capturing direct optical impression in dentistry. Application Of IOS • Crown & Bridge • Veneers • Inlay/Onlay • Implants • Full Mouth Rehabilitations • Aligners • 3D printed Dentures • Cast Partial Dentures • Implant Surgical Guides • TM Joint Splint • Essix Retainer Advantages of IOS • Less Patient Discomfort • Time efficient • Better Accuracy • Simplified clinical procedure • No Plaster Cast • Better Communication with the dental technician • Better communication with patients • It is your own teacher • Maintaining records Traditional Workflow VS Digital workflow Traditional Digital Impression is made Intraoral Scanning is done Impression is poured with stone Prosthesis is designed via CAD Die-cutting is done Prosthesis is fabricated via CAM Prosthesis is designed Prosthesis is fabricated Features Of Helios 600 Software Cases • “ Going Digital Is No Longer An Option, It Is The Default. ---- Natarajan Chandrasekaran (CEO & MD TCS) Questions
