Constructions and Artificial Intelligence in the Future of Digital Dentistry

Digital dentistry has become a reality in everyday dental practice. New devices such as intra- and 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 computerized milling have completely changed the way we diagnose, plan, communicate, and treat our patients.

More recently, the introduction of artificial intelligence has provided a further step toward fully digital workflows in daily practice. However, a proper learning curve remains essential for the correct use of these powerful new technologies. Through the presentation of different clinical cases, the lecturers will demonstrate to the audience both the benefits and the limitations of this new approach to dentistry, opening a window to the future of the profession.
