Digital Dentistry and 3D Imaging(CAD/CAM)

3D Imaging is one of the most significant tools for orthodontists to estimate and record size and form of craniofacial structures. Orthodontists regularly use 2- dimensional (2D) static imaging procedures, but deepness of structures cannot be acquired and confined with 2D imaging. Three- dimensional (3D) imaging has been developed in the early of 1990's and has gained a prized place in dentistry, particularly in orthodontics. In 3D individual imaging, a series of anatomical records is gathered using certain specialized outfit, reused by a computer and latterly presented on a 2D examiner to present the vision of deepness. Digital dentistry refers to the use of dental technologies or bias to carry out dental procedures rather than using mechanical or electrical tools. The use of digital dentistry can make carrying out dental procedures more effective than using mechanical tools.
