digital dentistry Flashcards
digital dentistry market
1) 1.26 billion dollar in USA
2) dentsply, sirona, align technology, ivolcar
evolution
1) 70’s CAD CAM
2) 80s CAD CAM in dental offices
3) 90s digital radiography and CAD CAM crowns
4) 2000s CBCT
5) mid 2000s more aesthetic resin materials, adhesives
benefits
1) more informed diagnosis
2) more accurate treatment
3) streamline
4) collaborate and communicate with labs and colleagues
5) communicate with patients
6) overall better comfort and care
dentists are
1) pragmatists
2) need evidence that this works and is worth implementing
timing is important
1) empower your staff
2) include them in decision making
3) approach it as benefit to all
4) get proper training
5) implement in small increments
6) give extra time in between patients in initial phase
Infrared transillumination
1) help to identify caries?
assisted local anesthetic delivery system
1) controls rate of flow
soft tissue laser
1) for periodontal therapy, bacterial reduction, decontamination, etc.
2) diode soft tissue laser
occlusal digital analysis
1) tells bite relationships with digital sensor
smile design softwares
1) potential before and after
guided implant dental surgery
1) CBCT, surgical guides, intraoral scans
2) accuracy
dynamic navigation system
1) handpiece that uses real time navigation technology
yomi
1) based on haptics technology for implant
CAD CAM
1) computer aided design and manufacturing
2) can be done with lab (acquisition systems)
3) scanner, design, mill (chairside systems)
digital impressions
1) glidewell labs receive many scans
- except with covid
2) rapidly growing (2 million in 10 years)
3) benefit for multiunits
diadvantages of digital impression
1) cost of scanner
2) inital learning curve
3) extra cost at lab
4) model cost
5) patient limitations
6) unpredictable for extended edentulous areas
confocal laser technolofy
1) most common one used today
2) laser light captures imaging at 100,000 parallel beams of light
3) does not need powder
itero
1) align technology
2) wand size used to be an issue
3shape softwares
1) different ones out there to use with Trios
isolate
1) optragate
2) driangles
3) etc
CAD CAM chairside dentistry
1) CEREC
- one day dentistry
- prep, scan, design, mill, and deliver
- crowns, inlay/onlay, veneers, implant abutments
- 2-3 hour appointments
CAM
1) many different kinds of mills
- dry vs wet
2) subtractive manufacturing
3) blocks and discs
3D printing
1) models
2) surgical guides
3) occlusal splints
4) clean aligners
5) etc.
—
1) permanent crowns and dentures may be in the future
AI
1) modifies your digital scan
2) AI to detect caries (FDA approved)
- inflammation
- pocket depths
- probability
3) treatment planning
4) etc.
new things
