Abstract
New digital dental technologies have and will continue to become available to dentists. To evaluate them properly, we must understand that for technology to be a benefit, it must provide measurable value for the patient. Beyond this, it is critical to realize that most improvement in a process comes from eliminating waste from the process. In full-arch implant treatment, utilizing and coordinating the right digital technologies can eliminate waste from all phases of the treatment process. Selecting the right face-scanning, intraoral scanning, photogrammetry, 3-dimensional printing, milling, and finishing equipment and techniques can dramatically improve the patient experience.
