Dental Materials and their Innovation in Digital Dentistry

Digital Dental Radiography Dentistry

Dental radiography is an essential component in the delivery of high-quality dental care for dogs and cats. During the 1980s veterinarians began taking radiographs of teeth using standard radiographic units; however, these units made patient positioning difficult and often resulted in suboptimal films. In the 1990s dental radiographic units became a more common part of the veterinary dental dia...

Digital Dentistry: New Materials and Techniques

The digital revolution is changing the world, and dentistry is no exception. The introduction of a whole range of digital devices (intraoral, extraoral, face scanners and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) with low dose radiation) and processing software

The evolution of digital dentistry and the digital dental team.

Application of All Ceramic Materials in Dentistry

The daily increase in Patientschr('39') demand for cosmetic treatments has led to dental restorations moving towards the use of all-ceramic materials. The development of all-ceramic restorations over the last decade has revolutionized aesthetic dentistry. Recent advances in ceramic manufacturing and processing methods have led to the evolutionary growth of all-ceramic materials with superior bi...

Smart materials in dentistry.

Most dental materials are designed to have a relatively 'neutral' existence in the mouth. It is considered that if they are 'passive' and do not react with the oral environment they will be more stable and have a greater durability. At the same time, it is hoped that our materials will be well accepted and will cause neither harm nor injury. This is an entirely negative approach to material tol...
