Digital Dentistry Applied in a Government Hospital for the Restoration of Anterior Teeth with Crowns and Veneers: A Case Report
Keywords:
Crowns, Digital Dentistry, VeneersAbstract
Digital Dentistry is revolutionizing dental practices, but these technologies are currently limited to dental institutes and urban private dental clinics. Government hospitals have varying levels of digital technology implementation in dental practices, depending on the competency and familiarity of dental staff with digital dentistry and the hospital's budget. This study reveals the success of digital dentistry in restoring anterior teeth with crowns and veneers. The patient had multiple tooth losses and deteriorating restorations, with the aim of treatment being to improve appearance. Digital dentistry is a vital tool for meeting high expectations in complex and high-cost cases by replacing or enhancing three steps in conventional treatment: virtual treatment planning, resin mockup working models, and communication between the dentist and laboratory via virtual programs. Digital dentistry enhances efficiency in daily dental practices, improves the competency of government hospitals in specialized dental treatments, and ultimately leads to an improvement in people's quality of life.
