Abstract:
The benefits of transitioning from traditional analog workflows in dental practice to digital workflows are numerous and can be attained with wise choices and solid support. This transition begins with the integration of digital intraoral scanning into routine operations. The purpose of this article is to increase awareness of the clinical and management benefits of digital scanning and to aid clinicians in decision making regarding the incorporation of this technology into dental practice. Having a better understanding and appreciation of the implications for ease of use, accuracy, and enhanced success can help make digital scanning and workflow an attractive option.
