Digital Era of Multidisciplinary Treatments- Digital Workflow from a Surgical, Prosthetic and Orthodontic Perspective
The importance of visualization, data processing and measurement is increasing in orthodontics as in all disciplines, and the main source of this paradigm shift is the digitalized world. Although digital tools provide orthodontists with a lot of leeway in many areas, they also bring many unknown areas. 3D scanners, 3D printers and their use in clinical practice create some unknown horizons for physicians. Digital tools are also changing the tools commonly used in orthodontic practice. The fact that orthodontic treatment with clear aligners has become a stronger alternative to treatment with wires and brackets over time is the strongest point of this practice change. The place of digital tools in orthodontic treatments with clear aligners is significantly higher than in classical orthodontic treatments, which can cause anxiety in orthodontic specialists at some points.
So what really awaits orthodontists in the planning and clinical application of orthodontic treatments with digital tools? What do orthodontists need to know in order to tightly integrate orthodontic science with these newly widespread devices?
From planning software to biomechanical principles, from clinical applications to patient processes, orthodontists need to integrate existing habits into new experiences. This presentation will detail how digital tools and the digitalized world can be adapted to the orthodontic clinic.
