This chapter discusses the potential future developments in the field of dentistry
that are driven by the increasing use of digital tools and techniques. Digital dentistry
refers to the use of computer-based technologies in various aspects of dental treatment,
including diagnostic procedures, treatment planning, and the delivery of care. In
addition, it has the potential to revolutionize dental education. The benefits of
digital dentistry, such as increased efficiency and accuracy, are explored in this
section, as well as the challenges and limitations that may need to be addressed in
order for it to reach its full potential. The role that education and training will
play in the adoption of digital dentistry and the impact it may have on the future
of the dental profession are also looked at in this chapter.
