Digital Dentistry

Digital dentistry uses advanced technology to plan dental treatments, supporting oral health while aiming for more precise and faster results.

What is Digital Dentistry? A Modern Approach to Dental Care

Digital dentistry leverages advanced technology to enhance oral and dental health treatments, offering innovative and efficient solutions. This modern approach ensures faster and more precise dental care for patients.

How Does Digital Dentistry Work?

Digital dentistry uses computer-aided applications like CAD-CAM to deliver healthier and quicker treatments. It involves two key stages:

  • Computer-Aided Design (CAD): Designing dental restorations digitally.
  • Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM): Producing restorations with precision.

With digital dentistry, impressions are taken directly from the patient’s mouth using computer-assisted scanning, enabling the creation of tailored restorations.

Digital Dentistry Treatment Process

  • Digital Scanning: Teeth are scanned in 3D using digital scanners, and the data is transferred to a computer.
  • Digital Design: The 3D scan is used to design the tooth shape and ensure harmony with the gums.
  • Digital Production: Restorations are produced using 3D printers or CAD-CAM milling machines.

Porcelain teeth are crafted in a lab, checked for quality, and applied to the patient.

CEREC CAD-CAM System in Digital Dentistry

The CEREC CAD-CAM system supports various restorative treatments in digital dentistry. It is widely used in esthetic dentistry for:

  • Porcelain laminates
  • Zirconium-supported porcelain crowns
  • Full ceramic crowns
  • Porcelain inlay-onlay restorations (ideal for cases with minimal healthy tooth structure)

These treatments are produced and applied quickly using CEREC technology.

Applications of CEREC in Digital Dentistry

  • Porcelain Crowns
  • Porcelain Laminates
  • Porcelain Bridges
  • Porcelain Inlays/Onlays
  • Zirconium-Supported Porcelain Restorations
  • Full Zirconium Restorations
  • Composite Inlays/Onlays
  • Composite Laminates
  • Composite Crowns

What is the Chairside Method in Digital Dentistry?

The Chairside method allows permanent restorations to be completed in a single session, eliminating the need for temporary crowns or fillings. This efficient process is a significant advancement in digital dentistry, ensuring treatments are finalized in one appointment.

How is Digital Dentistry Treatment Applied?

A specialized camera captures images of the patient’s mouth, and digital measurements are transferred to a computer. The restoration design is created with high precision in 10-15 minutes. Depending on the porcelain type, production takes 5-15 minutes, followed by polishing and application.

The total treatment time varies based on the number of restorations, typically taking 2-4 hours, often completed within a day.

Benefits of Digital Dentistry Treatments

Digital dentistry offers several benefits, including:

  • Completing treatments in a single session
  • Providing esthetic results
  • Ensuring error-free outcomes through a fully digital process
  • Enhancing patient comfort by avoiding traditional impression materials

Post-Treatment Care for Digital Dentistry

Patients should follow their dentist’s recommendations after digital dentistry treatments. This includes avoiding hot, cold, and hard foods for a period, maintaining proper oral hygiene, and using prescribed medications to support healing and protect the teeth.
