Digital workflow in dentistry refers to the integration of digital tools and technologies into dental practices to streamline procedures, improve accuracy, and enhance patient outcomes. This includes using digital impressions, 3D imaging, CAD/CAM systems, and intraoral cameras to capture precise data and design custom restorations.

The digital workflow allows for faster treatment planning, more accurate diagnosis, and the ability to create highly customized restorations, such as crowns, bridges, and dentures. It also eliminates the need for traditional impressions, reducing patient discomfort and the risk of errors.

For example, CAD/CAM systems enable dentists to design and mill crowns and bridges in the same appointment, improving efficiency and reducing the need for multiple visits.

Digital workflow in dentistry enhances the precision of treatments, reduces turnaround times, and improves overall patient satisfaction by delivering faster, more reliable results.
