DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES IN PROSTHODONTICS

Abstract

The development of new materials and additive technologies represents a cutting-edge scientific direction in dentistry. The demand for these technologies is driven by the high quality of dental prostheses and restorations, including: aesthetic appeal, precise control over thickness and spatial dimensions, and geometric accuracy of critical design and technological elements of the prosthetic structure.

Additive digital technologies reduce material consumption, decrease the need for personnel, and significantly shorten the time required to transfer information from the patient to the dental technician, as well as the overall fabrication time of prostheses.

Dentists need to be aware of the full range of possibilities offered by digital technologies to provide a personalized approach to each clinical situation. Timely training of specialists fully proficient in digital workflows is a key condition for ensuring high-quality prosthodontic care.
