In this thesis different aspects of digital workflows in Orthodontics, Maxillofacial Surgery and Prosthodontics are discussed and, where possible, placed in a broader perspective thereby attempting to go both broader and deeper into the implications of the introduction of 3D digital technology in dentistry. Complete 3D workflows are yet scarce and added costs for these workflows are still rather high. It is predicted that, related to the exponential increase in the hardware possibilities and the equally rapid decrease in costs, a disruptive change can be prognosticated in near future. Complementing technology will than take over many diagnostic and manual skills of the dental profession. As a result, the focus of the dental profession will shift by positioning the dentist as a monitor and supervisor of dental health while the dental technician will evolve into a planner and engineer for the actual dental treatment. |
