Dentistry is a part of the field of medicine which is advocated in this digital revolution. The increasing trend in dentistry digitalization has led to the advancement in computer-derived data processing and manufacturing. This progress has been exponentially supported by the Internet of medical things (IoMT), big data and analytical algorithm, internet and communication technologies (ICT) including digital social media, augmented and virtual reality (AR and VR), and artificial intelligence (AI). The interplay between these sophisticated digital aspects has dramatically changed the healthcare and biomedical sectors, especially for dentistry. This myriad of applications of technologies will not only be able to streamline oral health care, facilitate workflow, increase oral health at a fraction of the current conventional cost, relieve dentist and dental auxiliary staff from routine and laborious tasks, but also ignite participatory in personalized oral health care. This narrative article review highlights recent dentistry digitalization encompassing technological advancement, limitations, challenges, and conceptual theoretical modern approaches in oral health prevention and care, particularly in ensuring the quality, efficiency, and strategic dental care in the modern era of dentistry.
牙科是这场数字革命所倡导的医学领域的一部分。牙科数字化的趋势不断增加,推动了计算机衍生的数据处理和制造技术的进步。医疗物联网(IoMT)、大数据与分析算法、包括数字社交媒体在内的互联网与通信技术(ICT)、增强现实与虚拟现实(AR和VR)以及人工智能(AI)为这一进步提供了指数级的支持。这些复杂数字元素之间的相互作用极大地改变了医疗保健和生物医学领域,尤其是牙科领域。技术的众多应用不仅能够简化口腔保健流程、促进工作流程、以当前传统成本的一小部分提高口腔健康水平、将牙医和牙科辅助人员从常规且繁重的任务中解脱出来,还能激发个性化口腔保健的参与度。这篇叙述性文章综述重点介绍了牙科数字化的最新进展,包括技术进步、局限性、挑战以及口腔健康预防和护理中的概念性理论现代方法,特别是在现代牙科时代确保高质量、高效率和战略性牙科护理方面。
