Digital Prosthodontics.

      Аннотация: When smartphones came out about a decade ago, they were a novelty. It was fun to have the internet in your pocket. It was cool to have pictures and movies at your fingertips. But smartphones have moved beyond mere novelty and are now a necessity. Such is the case with CAD/CAM and digital dentistry. A decade ago, it was unique for labs to be able to produce restorations using a scanner, computer and mill. Now, however, it is becoming necessary for the business. The new workflows made possible because of this technology are likely to become standard in the very near future. The Digital revolution is changing the world: computers and Digital devices are making what were previously manual tasks easier, faster, cheaper and more predictable. Even in Dentistry, Digital technologies are rapidly advancing: new tools such as intra/ extra-oral scanners, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanners, computer aided design / computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) software and innovative fabrication procedures such as 3D printing and layered manufacturing are changing the way we treat our patients. This book gives a complete outline of the digitization in Dentistry.
