One major benefit of digital dentistry is the use of advanced diagnostics technology like intraoral scanners and digital x-rays. Intraoral scanners create 3D images of the inside of the mouth by using optical scanning technology.
Difference between traditional & digital scanning :
- Less chair time & less number of appointments required.
- Improved quality of images for better-fitting restorations
- Eliminates the need for uncomfortable and distasteful restoration materials that may cause gagging
- Ensures more comfort and less anxiety for patients
- Reduces the likelihood of errors and material inaccuracies
- Storing impressions digitally makes it possible to keep them for a long time, saving space and ensuring efficient recordkeeping
