About this Research Topic
Digital technologies have dramatically reshaped dental and maxillofacial practices over the last two decades, heralding a new era in oral health management. This transformation emphasizes preventive, personalized, and precision medicine, merging contemporary digital workflows with clinical exigencies. As we navigate the complexities of dental structures and aesthetic expectations, the shift towards digital tools like 3D printing, AI, and virtual modeling is not merely beneficial but essential. These technologies facilitate more accurate diagnostics, streamlined procedures, and enhanced patient outcomes, establishing a modern standard of care where precision and efficiency converge.
This Research Topic aims to delve into the transformative digital workflows, technologies, and advancements within the oral health sector. By integrating cutting-edge digital tools, the focus is on refining treatment efficiency and outcomes through preventive measures, early diagnostics, minimally invasive techniques, and tailored therapeutic approaches. The burgeoning realms of AI, virtual and augmented realities are redefining the boundaries of what is possible in oral health interventions, urging a closer examination of their potential and pitfalls in clinical settings.
To gather further insights in this dynamic field, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
- Digital Diagnostics: Innovations in diagnostic technologies for non-invasive approaches, enhanced pathology detection, and real-time data analytics aimed at early disease detection.
- Digital Interventions: Application of virtual planning, 3D printing, and CAD/CAM in surgery to promote personalized medicine.
- Treatment Innovations: Exploration of new treatment methods including minimally invasive surgeries and targeted therapeutic strategies.
- Artificial Intelligence (AI): Utilization of AI for advanced data analysis, predictive diagnostics, and decision-making tools in oral health.
- Multidisciplinary Teamwork: Evaluating the impact of collaborative approaches among various dental and medical specialists enhanced by digital technologies.
