One of the recent trends in dentistry - and this in every field from the restorative to the orthodontic one- is the introduction of simplified completely digital workflows. Digital dentistry is supposed to allow dentists to work more efficiently, and this at higher precision, and with the possibility of all-in-one sessions using in-house computerized techniques. In this workflow, one of the major tools for simulating and transferring dental treatments is imaging. Both 3D low dose radiographic as well as optical imaging are playing crucial roles and have been overwhelming the market. Novel design platforms, compact and extremely fast milling and printing units are now also plentiful and rapidly being adopted in practice. Nevertheless, many of the steps in this digital dentistry process, no matter how simplified, present risks that can contribute to reduced precision and clinical difficulties. It is therefore the purpose of the article to briefly describe the role of imaging in this digital workflow, and where the pitfalls can be found that may lead to errors and imprecision.
近年来，牙科领域出现了一种新趋势——从修复到正畸领域都是如此，即引入简化的完全数字化工作流程。数字化牙科应该能够让牙医更高效地工作，并且具有更高的精度，还可以使用内部计算机化技术进行一站式治疗。在这种工作流程中，模拟和转移牙科治疗的主要工具之一是成像。3D 低剂量射线照相和光学成像都发挥着至关重要的作用，并占据了市场主导地位。新颖的设计平台、紧凑且极快的铣削和打印单元现在也大量涌现，并在实践中得到了迅速采用。然而，无论这个数字化牙科过程如何简化，其中许多步骤都存在风险，可能会导致精度降低和临床困难。因此，本文的目的是简要描述成像在这个数字化工作流程中的作用，以及可能导致错误和不精确的陷阱所在。
