- Title
Closing the Gap Between Esthetics and Digital Dentistry.
- Authors
Weston, John
- Abstract
While digital methods have a firm position in dentistry, a total digital workflow for multi-unit layered restorations has yet to be fully realized. Many clinicians are using a CAD/CAM workflow of some kind, but there is still a significant gap to be filled for completing the digital workflow. This article describes how practitioners can transition into the full digital workflow, showing the use of digital processes for anterior cosmetic cases. The pros and cons of "going fully digital" in an effort to increase efficiency while maintaining high-level quality with regards to fit and ceramics layering will be discussed.
