The digital workflow has improved the quality of dental care. The integration of computer-aided design/computer-aided-manufacturing (CAD/CAM), cone-beam-computer-tomography (CBCT) and three-dimensional (3D) printing offers significant advantages for treatment planning and allows the dentist to visualize the treatment outcomes before they are initiated. Digital dental technology has become reliable and affordable with many applications for surgical and restorative solutions.
