Digital dentistry includes a wide range of technologies that bring communication, documentation, production and distribution under the umbrella of computer-based algorithms in dental treatments. It also plays an important role in shaping innovation and student experience in dentistry education. Since learning methods and tools continue to advance, an under¬standing of educational methodologies themselves, as well as those who use them to teach and learn, is crucial to optimizing educational effectiveness. In undergraduate dental laboratory training, digital simulation technologies have already been implemented to dental faculties and their curriculums in several countries. These simulation technologies include digital microscopes, virtual pathology slides, digital X-ray images, digital dental skill training machines, digital assessment systems, and robot patients. In this article an overview to the digital dentistry education was reported.
