The dental industry is undergoing profound changes with the rise of new technologies and innovations. The wise dentist thinks about and, if appropriate adapts to these changes but only with a full awareness of the legal issues that are involved.
For instance the X-rays were replaced by digital radiography tools that provide more precise visualization and less radiation exposure. In addition, intraoral cameras enable dentists to get clear images of difficult-to-see areas within the oral cavity. This helps patients better understand their options for treatment and helps them take better care of themselves at home.
CAD/CAM systems are another advancement which allows for the swift creation of custom-made bridges and crowns without the need of messy traditional molds. Dental lasers can be utilized to serve a variety of functions, such as non-invasive cavity detection and precise gum contouring. Biomaterials that are more durable and can be customized to the color and the transparency of a patient’s teeth provide new solutions for periodontal diseases and tooth restoration.
Teledentistry permits the disabled, elderly and those living in remote areas to access dentistry. A telehealth platform enables dentists to take photos as well as make clinical notes and consult with patients using video chat software. Dental laboratories are also being transformed through 3D printing, which allows them to print custom-made surgical guides and prosthetics. This speedily reduces turnaround time and enables better, more accurate fitting restorations.
