Dream teams in digital dentistry

With the advent of new technologies, our daily lives are undergoing profound changes. It is therefore legitimate that we, as dentists and dental technicians, ask ourselves many questions about what the future brings and the relevance of digital tools. Having had the opportunity to test, develop and use intraoral cameras, milling units and 3D printers for 10 years now, we would like to share with you our journey, our learnings and our daily cooperation. Originally limited to the field of prosthesis fabrication, digital is now present at all stages of treatment starting with the esthetic and functional analyses, thereby closely linking clinicians and technicians in the evaluation of suitable treatment methods and final decision-making. The use of zirconia and glass-ceramics, milling units and 3D printers, facial and intraoral scanners, which allow us to optimize our daily work routines, requires cooperation and teamwork. What could be better than being able to claim predictability and reproducibility for a treatment procedure? Digital dentistry is now a reality, bringing the dental office closer to the dental laboratory and dentists closer to dental technicians, for the benefit of patients. The patient, dentist and laboratory, a dream team.... thanks to digital dentistry.
