ABSTRACT

Digital technologies have radically transformed restoration design processes in dentistry, enabling more precise, aesthetic and functional results. In particular, computeraided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems, supported by digital measurement and threedimensional (3D) scanning tech nologies, offer significant convenience in clinical and laboratory processes. CAD software provides the necessary parameters to achieve optimal results in the marginal fit and internal design of restorations and guides the user through the design process. These possibilities offered by digital design tools make it possible for restorations to improve patient comfort and save time. Innovative technologies such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (vR) and artificial intelligence (AI) enable new approaches to restoration design and make the design process more predictable. Digital technologies, which have a wide range of applications from maxillofacial prostheses to fixed prostheses, enable the design of res torations suitable for patient anatomy with less traumatic procedures. However, leveraging the advan tages offered by these technologies depends on the practitioner’s digital skills and ability to accurately manage software parameters. In conclusion, digital technologies enable dental practices to achieve quality results both aesthetically and functionally. However, the clinical success of technological in novations must be balanced with the human factor and supported by the knowledge of practitioners.
