Digital dental applications affect every aspect of dentistry and are responsible for a great deal of stress that dentists face in its incorporation. In order to understand and simplify this process, the objective has to be defined, which is to have a complete digital patient record that fully and seamlessly incorporates all image and data aspects of the current dental practice and has the capacity for future application integration.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

• Understand and plan how to integrate digital imaging into the dental practice.

• Consider all the digital imaging technologies as a growing platform of applications that will continue to provide additional solutions for patients

• Learn how to build an appropriate digital platform for the individual practice based on the current and anticipated future needs of the patient base.
