Updated research on digitalization in aesthetic restoration / 口腔疾病防治

ABSTRACT

@#With the development of digitalization, information and internet technology, digital dental aesthetic restoration technology is changing the traditional mode of treatment. The development of digital aesthetic restoration therapy is similar to the digital development track in other fields of medicine, in which the use of digital technology for intervention in particular treatment steps is evolving to digitalization throughout the treatment process. Digitalization improves the precision and quality of aesthetic restoration, increases the efficiency of clinical work and is favorable for patients. Digitalization could replace traditional methods, propelling aesthetic restoration into a fully digitalized era. Function, aesthetics and minimal invasiveness are the three major concepts of contemporary prosthodontics, and digital aesthetic restoration technology represents a perfect interpretation of these three concepts. This paper describes recently developed digital technologies for aesthetic restoration and cites the advantages, limitations, and developmental direction of digital restoration dentistry.
