The application of digital technology in the dental field mainly includes three aspects: digital oral scanning technology, digital oral imaging technology, and digital oral design technology.
1. Digital oral scanning technology: Digital oral scanning technology converts the morphological and structural information in the patient's oral cavity into digital signals through a scanning device, thereby achieving three-dimensional modeling and digital replication of the patient's oral cavity. Provide accurate data support for subsequent treatment. Digital oral scanning technology can generate high-precision, repeatable three-dimensional models, providing accurate data support for dental examination and treatment. Digital oral scanning technology is widely used in dental restoration, orthodontics, implants and other fields.
2. Digital oral imaging technology: Digital oral imaging technology mainly includes digital X-rays and oral CT (computed tomography) technology. Digital X-rays can quickly and accurately obtain X-ray photos of the patient's oral cavity, providing a basis for the detection, diagnosis and treatment plan design of lesions. Oral CT technology can obtain three-dimensional images of the patient's oral cavity and surrounding tissues with higher accuracy and resolution, which can help guide oral implantation, surgical treatment, orthodontic planning, etc.
3. Digital oral design technology: Digital oral design technology can use computer-aided design software to conduct three-dimensional simulation and design of the patient's oral cavity, and then carry out treatment plans such as oral restoration, orthodontics, and implantation according to the design results. formulation and implementation. Digital oral design technology can improve the precision, efficiency and quality of treatment, greatly improving the treatment level of oral medicine.
The positive role of digital technology in the dental field
The application of digital technology in the dental field has become a trend, which not only improves the accuracy and efficiency of dental medical treatment; Patient treatment experience and satisfaction. As digital technology continues to develop and mature, I believe it will be more widely used and promoted in the field of oral medicine in the future.
