Digital Dentistry is carrying dental treatments with the help of digitised computer systems to aid the dental treatment of the patient to the dental prosthetic dentists or dental implant surgeons. Digital Dentistry refers to the use of computer-aided systems to carry out the full dental treatment process of the patient. The use of digital dentistry will increase the efficiency and speed of the dental treatment process as well as the devices such as 3D X-Ray (What is 3D X-Ray in dental treatment) will help with the diagnosis for the dental treatment of the patient. Digital dentistry will help with the restoration and diagnosis to ensure the mouth health and function system is impeccable.
Different case usage of Digital Dentistry
Digital Dentistry has transformed to reach out every aspect of dentistry to bring the modern era of technology into dentistry. Digital Dentistry is used from diagnosis to perfectly execute the dental treatment that is designed individually for the patient. Digital dentistry can be used to locate a simple decay to the jawbone quality, jawbone density, jawbone length, jawbone width, and general jawbone size to locate the best place for a dental implant placement.
Tools that are being used in Digital Dentistry
Intraoral Cameras
Instead of regular mirrors that dentists are using to check the inside of the patients’ mouth, intraoral cameras are replacing the old technology mirrors. A dentist can use intraoral cameras for many different purposes. Intraoral cameras are helpful with:
- Making better diagnostic
- A small decay on the patient’s tooth can be zoomed to be seen better in an enhanced quality for better diagnosis
- Oral hygiene of the patient can be seen and any issue such as:
- Gum disease
- Periodontal disease
- Creating a better treatment plan
- Having the 3D image of the patient’s mouth will increase the success of the dental treatment diagnosis and solution
- The dentist will be able to make a certain diagnosis
- Scanning
- The dentist will use the Intraoral cameras to take a digital scan, instead of taking impressions via using moulds that are making patients gag and quite uncomfortable.
- The scan will be helpful with:
- Creating the correct biting position for dental crowns, dental laminate veneers, dental full veneers,
- Creating the correct biting position for fixed and aesthetic temporary teeth for the patients with All on System Full Mouth Dental Implants
- General design of the new teeth of the patient.
Here at Dentafly Dental Implant and Smile Studio in Antalya/Turkey, we are specifically working with the 3Shape brand. 3Shape is a computer system incorporating cutting-edge CAD-CAM technology. Using special cameras, the condition of the tooth to be restored is checked and measurements are taken, and the data acquired is then transferred to the 3D digital environment. Our dentists will then create a dental design digitally according to the patient’s wishes. Utilising the 3Shape system, it is possible to create a lasting, new smile quickly.
Digital X-ray Systems
Digital X-Ray Systems are indispensable when it comes to dental treatments and diagnosis to create suiting dental treatment plans. A naked eye can see so far. Digital X-Ray Systems are a dentist’s radar to find where the problem is located.

A 2D Panoramic X-Ray will provide to the examination dentist and the dental implants surgeon weather or not:
- the patient has a cavity,
- The patient needs a root canal treatment,
- The patient is experiencing a bone loss,
- The patient is experiencing a hanging sinus gap,
- The teeth of the patient are being held by the jawbone strongly.
All of these will help the dentist and the dental implant surgeon to create a fitting and healthy plan. The created plan will be carried out as the dental treatment of the patient. The 2D Panoramic X-Ray will be used before dental treatment of the patient, which is consultation, and during the dental treatment.
A Digital 3D X-ray can provide the examination dentist and the dental implant surgeon with extra information that a 2D Panoramic X-Ray cannot. These can be used for:
- Orthodontic procedures
- Planning dental implant placement for the damaged teeth
- Diagnosis of the temporomandibular joint dysfunction
- Finding the strong slice of the bone for placement of the implant(s)
- Locating the origin of pain or a disease
- Finding, measuring, and treating jaw bone tumours
- Collecting data for the bone structure and health
- Reconstructive surgery for the jaw and dental implants
- Planning for root canal treatment, sinus lift, and bone graft
A 3D X-ray is much more efficient compared to the 2D Panoramic X-Ray. A 3D X-Ray can provide:
- Versatile imaging system
- 3D interactive image
- Advanced measurement system of the
- Jawbone density
- Jawbone length
- Jawbone width
- Jawbone quality
All these measurements are necessary are to decide the best fitting dental implant size
- Measuring whether or not the patient will need a sinus lift
- A sinus lift can be a “closed” or “open” depending on the amount of sinus is hanged and/or the level of bone loss
- Nerve canals of the patient can be seen better to avoid during dental implant placement.
- Better visual and measuring the size of:
- Infection
- Cyst
- Root
- Bone
With the usage of Digital Imaging Systems, the dentists are able to easily:
- Diagnose
- Explain to the patient, and
- Execute the dental treatment
The Digital Imaging Systems are reducing the risk of any failure possibility of the dental treatment that is going to be carried out for the patient.
CAD/CAM Dentistry
CAD/CAM technology was introduced to dentistry toward the late 20th century. With the advancements in general technology, Computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) have revolutionised the field of digital dentistry in recent years. These technologies allow dental professionals to design and manufacture custom dental restorations and prosthetics with greater accuracy and efficiency than ever before. CAD/CAM allows the dentists to provide accurate solutions to the patients with complex restorative requests or complex restorative problems.
CAD/CAM technology in digital dentistry provides a range of benefits, including:
- Customization: CAD software allows dental professionals to create digital 3D models of dental restorations that are tailored to the individual patient’s mouth, rather than relying on pre-fabricated or “one size fits all” options. This leads to improved patient satisfaction and better long-term outcomes for dental treatments.
- Accuracy: By using 3D modelling and scanning technologies, dental professionals can create restorations with greater accuracy and precision than ever before. This can lead to better fitting restorations and fewer complications during treatment.
- Efficiency: CAD/CAM technology can significantly reduce the time and labour required to create dental restorations. It allows dental professionals to design and manufacture custom restorations quickly and easily, without the need for traditional hand-sculpting techniques.
- Versatility: CAD/CAM technology can be used to create a wide range of dental restorations, including crowns, bridges, implants, and more. It can also be used to create guides for implant placement and other procedures, helping to improve accuracy and reduce the risk of complications.
- Durability: Restorations created using CAD/CAM technology are typically made of durable materials such as porcelain, zirconia, or acrylic resin. This can help to ensure that they are long-lasting and able to withstand the rigours of everyday use.
One of the main benefits of CAD/CAM in digital dentistry is the ability to create precise and accurate restorations. Traditional dental restorations were often created using manual techniques, which were prone to errors and required multiple visits to the dentist. With CAD/CAM, the design and manufacturing process is streamlined, resulting in more accurate and efficient treatment.
CAD/CAM technologies are used in a variety of dental procedures, including crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, and veneers. These technologies allow dentists to create highly accurate digital models of a patient’s mouth, which can then be used to design and fabricate custom dental restorations.
Overall, CAD/CAM technology in digital dentistry provides a range of benefits that can improve the accuracy, efficiency, and customization of dental treatments.
Here at Dentafly Dental Implants and Smile Studio, we are using the best, top of the dentistry level CAD/CAM machines such as Ivoclar’s PMI 7 (what are the advantages of Ivoclar PMI 7? ). Combining Digital Dentistry with Ivoclar’s PMI 7 milling machine, we are able to produce fast and accurate dental crowns, dental laminate veneers, and dental full veneers. Our patients do not have to travel to Antalya/Turkey often. With one visit, we will complete the dental treatment of the patient with the best fit either dental laminate veneer, dental full veneer, or dental crowns. Patients will not have to come more than once for such treatment.
