Background:
Digital technologies have expanded in the field of dentistry, especially in the clinical and diagnostic aspects of occlusal abnormalities. Consequently, the purpose of this narrative review is to identify and synthesize data concerning the effects of these sophisticated digital technologies on improved diagnostic performance, treatment interventions, and patient outcomes.
Methods:
Cochrane, Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed were searched and, therefore, performed to find the pertinent digital technologies in dentistry from the published literature. The search was conducted in the period between 2000 and 2024. The criteria for inclusion of the studies targeted technologies that were Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), intraoral scanners, 3D imaging, and Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing (CAD/CAM). Some of the comparing between conventional and modern approaches were raised.
Results:
Digital technologies have enhanced the diagnostic process due to extended visualization and precise evaluation of occlusal disturbances Conclusion: It has been seen that the application of information technologies in dentistry significantly improved the diagnostics and therapy of occlusion disturbances. While there are some invincible challenges posed by these advancements, the prospects are noteworthy when it comes to accuracy, efficiency, and patient benefits.
