The use of 'extended reality' (augmented reality) in esthetic treatment planning

The use of the latest digital technology is bringing about a fundamental change in diagnostic planning. Apps based on mobile devices such as IvoSmile (Ivoclar Vivadent) use augmented reality to make lasting improvements to therapy decisions on the basis of 'informed consent.' In addition to significantly facilitating work and saving resources, the possibilities of interactive communication are also being expanded. Further advances in this technology will also revolutionize the integration of design results into the definitive manufacturing process.
