Three-Dimensional Engineering In Dentofacial Rehabilitation

The progressive shift towards implementing digitally‐driven 3D engineering tools in reconstructive dentistry is obvious.

Compared to conventional methods, the ultimate goal of digital technologies is to improve the quality and capabilities in examination, diagnosis, and treatment of the dental patient.

It is still questionable, however, whether such digital tools facilitate improved accuracy in data acquisition and assessment, superior efficacy in treatment planning, and more controlled and faster manufacturing process.

This presentation will provide an overview about 3D engineering in comprehensive dento‐facial rehabilitation and discuss different possibilities and advantages when using a conventional or a digital approach.
