Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The impact of digital dentistry is changing clinical procedures, surgical protocols and the choice of restorative materials. This impact is no doubt positive on the whole, but it raises many questions. What can the clinicians do to transfer the advantages of digital perspectives to patients? Are the procedures evenly qualitatively high? Are the materials we have to use because of the digital workflow clinically the best we could use? Is guided implant surgery the best choice for our patients? Can the digital workflow help patients to access oral health care and even to afford the costs? These are all questions that need to be addressed so that clinicians can utilize digital dentistry to benefit their patients.
Dr. Riccardo Beltrami
