Abstract

Digital Game-changers and materials of today: a perfect synergy

In the last decade, the development of new technologies has moved in parallel with a rapid evolution of restorative materials on the rails of Digital dentistry, opening new horizons in the field of Prosthodontics, both in tooth- and in implant-supported rehabilitations. The implementation in the daily practice of  game-changers like intra-oral and face scanners, planning softwares, computer guided implantology, both static and dynamic, has deeply modified the treatment algorithms, with big improvements in the efficiency, quality and timing of oral rehabilitations. In this lecture, the main changes in the daily dental practice  will be analysed, in the light of the author’s experience and of the most updated scientific literature.
