Technological advancements in dental equipment and instruments

Dental technology has transformed radically in the last few decades with the incorporation of digital technologies, modern materials, and advanced equipment. Adoption of cone beam computed tomography or CBCT for advanced 3D radiography in dentistry has enabled more precise diagnosis and treatment planning. CAD/CAM technology is being extensively used for computer aided designing and milling of dental restorations directly from digital impressions and scans. 3D printing or additive manufacturing is making inroads in dental laboratories for creating dental appliances, surgical guides, dental models and prototypes with increased accuracy and efficiency. Software for oral imaging, treatment simulations, cone beam reconstruction, 3D modeling and milling path programming have become integral parts of dental workstations today. Laser procedures have gained acceptance for soft tissue surgeries, periodontal therapies, caries removal, bleaching and more. Materials like resin composites, glass ceramics, zirconia and polymer injectable offer superior strength, aesthetics and biocompatibility over earlier amalgams and acrylics. Advancements like digital intraoral scanners, newest CAD/CAM systems, robotic arms, micro-milled burs, polymerization lights, milling and sintering machines have greatly boosted productivity and turnaround time in dental labs. This has propelled some dental laboratories to integrate additive manufacturing and robotic automation into their operations for increased efficiency. Such technological transformations across the dental industry have spurred growth in sophisticated dental laboratory equipment demand and created new opportunities for innovation. Advanced digital workflows, next generation materials and automated production are poised to revolutionize dental laboratories in the future.
