Digitizing Dental Impressions This issue of THE DENTAL ADVISOR discusses the current state of CAD/CAM and digital dentistry. Since 2007, we have been reporting on the changes to materials, equipment, and techniques. The concept of digital workflow is continually changing and is a source of confusion for dental practices and the laboratories they work with. An overview of available systems for both digital impressions and in-office milling is provided as well as materials available for same day or next day dentistry. Finally, a brief explanation of 3D printing and the popularity of orthodontics in digital dentistry is discussed.
