Advances in digital imaging continue to transform modern endodontics, enabling clinicians to diagnose and manage complex anatomical variations with greater confidence and precision. Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) has become an essential diagnostic tool when conventional radiography does not provide sufficient information.

Since its introduction, computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology has held promise for achieving same-day restorative dental care. Yet for many years, chairside workflows have remained out of reach for routine clinical use, and adoption has often been hesitant.

Digital dentistry continues to reshape everyday clinical practice by providing faster, more predictable, and patient- centered restorative solutions. Three-dimensional (3D) printing has emerged as a practical alternative to conventional subtractive manufacturing, particularly for chairside and time-sensitive procedures.

The decade from 2015 to 2025 has represented a period of extraordinary transformation in dentistry. Technologies that 10 years ago seemed experimental or limited to specialized centers have now become widespread tools, fully integrated into daily clinical practice…

Digital dentistry relies on accurate imaging as the foundation for every procedure, whether straightforward or complex. Traditionally, 2D radiographs guided clinical decision-making, but the advent of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has transformed diagnostic capability, offering a comprehensive 3D view of dental and maxillofacial structures…

The integration of digital technologies across various dental specialties—from cone-beam computed tomography and orthodontic planning to guided implant surgery and advanced prosthodontics—has revolutionized the field. These innovations enable clinicians to streamline workflows, reduce treatment times, and maintain high standards of precision, function, and aesthetics…

I stepped into digital dentistry at the end of 2018*, changing my workdays almost overnight. Impressions stopped requiring entire appointments, restorations were seated with fewer adjustments, and, most importantly, I finally had a way to show patients what I was seeing from the first consultation. The intraoral scanner moved from being a “nice gadget” to being vital…

In 2004 our group started the research on the 3D printing of titanium dental implants using one of the first 3D printer available at that time, an Yb-Ytterbium fiber laser system (EOS GmbH Munchen, Germany) because we thought that Additive Manufacturing (AM) methods could be the way to overcome the issues of traditional procedures to produce dental implants…

The management of anterior aesthetic edentulism presents a significant challenge due to the complexity of preserving and restoring hard and soft tissue around implant-supported prostheses. Achieving optimal aesthetic and functional outcomes requires meticulous surgical and prosthetic protocols to replicate the natural emergence profile and gingival architecture.

At the first visit, the patient underwent a complete digital photographic record and X-ray examination. They presented with a hopeless dentition in both the maxilla and mandible. All upper teeth were extracted. After wearing a provisional removable prosthesis for 45 days, the patient returned for a clinical follow-up.

Cancer therapy, especially that involving the head and neck region, can have devastating long-term oral health consequences. Xerostomia, mucositis, and hyposalivation are common complications that severely impair dental integrity and patient well-being.

Digital dentistry has not only aided dentists in planning and executing procedures but has also brought the patient to the forefront of treatments. In an era of rapid technological advancements, the dental community stands at a transformative moment…

The evolution of digital dentistry has profoundly reshaped clinical practice over the last decade, introducing protocols that streamline workflows, improve patient outcomes, and significantly enhance clinical efficiency.

Dr. John Zalesky and his team at Aurora Hills Dental prioritize providing an exceptional patient experience. To support better patient outcomes and satisfaction…
