The field of dentistry is changing dramatically as a result of new technologies. The shrewd dentist considers and, when appropriate, adapts to these technologies but only with a complete awareness of the legal issues to be considered.

For instance the X-rays were replaced by digital radiography devices that provide more precise images and less radiation exposure. Additionally, intraoral cameras allow dentists to get clear images of hard-to-see areas in the oral cavity. This helps patients be more informed about the options available to them and help them to take better care of their own oral health at home.

CAD/CAM systems are another breakthrough that allows for the efficient manufacturing of custom-made bridges, and crowns without the need of messy traditional molds. Dental lasers can be utilized for a variety of purposes for example, painless cavity detection and precision gum contouring. Biomaterials that are more durable and can be matched to the color and clarity of a patient’s tooth provide new solutions for periodontal diseases and tooth restoration.

Teledentistry allows elderly, disabled and other populations from remote areas to access dental care. The use of a telehealth platform allows dentists to capture images and take notes as well as consultations with patients via video chatting software. Dental labs are also being transformed through 3D printing. This allows them to print custom-designed prosthetics and surgical guide. This decreases the time to turnaround and enables better, more precise fitting restorations.
