Innovations and new technologies are being developed constantly and are set to revolutionize the dental industry. In order to keep up with the latest developments, it requires a keen awareness of the current trends, an in-depth grasp of how they are applied to practice and an ability to adapt and evolve continually.
Certain of these innovations enhance the overall experience and outcome of dental treatments. Digital Xrays, for instance can reduce radiation exposure to patients by replacing traditional film with sensors that can show results instantly on an LCD monitor. This technology makes the diagnostic process faster and simpler, allowing dentists to treat patients more quickly and effectively.
Other dental technology advancements reduce the time and effort needed to finish a treatment. Intraoral scanners, for instance, eliminate the need to take messy dental impressions. They scan the teeth and produce digital models that can be used to construct custom-fitted dental restorations. This technology reduces time and also a relief for patients. It also ensures that dental veneers and crowns are placed correctly.
Dental technology has improved the efficiency of treatment, allowing patients to choose from a variety of options when it comes to preventing or treating dental cavities. For instance, instead silver amalgam fillings containing mercury, ceramic and tooth-colored composite fillings are a safer and more aesthetically appealing alternative.
Another key benefit of dental technologies is their environmental friendlyness. Many dental technologies, including intraoral cameras and digital X-rays are made with less harmful chemicals and materials than their predecessors, which help reduce the environmental impact on our planet.
