Digitalization: New era of dentistry
The visual appeal of teeth and smiles significantly influences both how others perceive individuals and their self-image and confidence. The subjective nature of dental esthetics, varying greatly among patients and dental professionals, has made digital smile design tools essential for creating natural and personalized esthetics. Contemporary digital methods and workflows encompass all clinical phases, from diagnosis to the creation of a smile aligned with the patient's facial features, and the completion of the restoratives.

Custom nasal obturator for velopharyngeal dysfunction: Digitizing the fabrication process
Nasal obturation using a removable medical device is a suitable treatment option for patients with velopharyngeal dysfunction. In the United Kingdom in recent years, the use of nasal obturation has increased because of the successful collaborations among the Speech and Language Therapy, Restorative Dentistry, and Maxillofacial departments. However, fabrication of the devices requires specialist skill and considerable time. A digital process which facilitates the rapid, cost effective production of a light, comfortable, unobtrusive nasal obturator is described. (Source: Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry)

Revolutionizing dentistry: Exploring the potential of facial scanners for precise treatment planning and enhanced patient outcomes
An innovative method for aligning face scans with intraoral scans is introduced, leveraging a novel 3D printed device. This technique addresses the longstanding challenge of accurately merging these two types of dental scans by incorporating a physical reference point —the nose—into both scans for precise alignment. This advancement promises to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of digital dental diagnostics and treatments. (Source: Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry)
