Abstract :

The biggest breakthrough in the field of dentistry in recent years has been the advent of digital dentistry. Digital dentistry widely refers to “Any dental technology or equipment that comprises digital or computer-regulated components in contrast to that of mechanical or electrical alone”. A significant drawback of digital dentistry are expenses involved with its implementation. Nevertheless, if the new technology lives up to expectations, it might be viewed as a benefit in the long run.
