Clinical Applications of Digital Dental Technology

Clinical Applications of Digital Dental Technology, 2nd Edition provides a structured reference on computerized clinical workflows in modern dentistry. Edited by Radi Masri and Carl F. Driscoll, this 400-page volume examines how digital tools update diagnostic and treatment protocols across daily practice settings. The text addresses how digital methodologies apply across multidisciplinary patient care environments.

The reference reviews core diagnostic and restorative modalities, including digital radiography, virtual planning, digital impressions, and computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM). It outlines specific clinical applications across endodontics, orthodontics, and oral and maxillofacial surgery, alongside detailed examinations of digitally fabricated dentures and restorative procedures.

To assist clinicians with technology selection, chapters combine theoretical principles with structured evaluations of indications, contraindications, advantages, disadvantages, and clinical limitations. This practical structure offers intended support for general dentists, specialists, dental students, and laboratory technicians seeking verified technical benchmarks for daily clinical practice.
