Abstract

Digital workflows have transformed implant dentistry by enhancing precision, predictability and patient outcomes through advanced imaging, computer-aided design/manufacturing and guided surgery. Therefore, it is of interest to review the key components of digital workflows, including 3D imaging, virtual treatment planning, dynamic navigation and CAD/CAM-fabricated prostheses. Clinical evidence demonstrates improved implant placement accuracy, reduced treatment times and enhanced aesthetics with digital integration. Challenges such as cost, learning curve and technology adoption are also discussed. Hence, there is a need for continued innovation and wider implementation to optimize implant dentistry practices.

Keywords

Digital workflow, CAD/CAM dentistry, Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), 3D printing in dentistry, Artificial intelligence (AI) in dentistry.
