Digital technologies have revolutionized the field of dentistry, offering numerous advantages in diagnosis, treatment planning, education, and patient care. This review article provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of digital technologies in dentistry, highlighting their applications, benefits, and future prospects. Technologies allow for precise 3D imaging of dental structures, facilitating virtual treatment planning and guiding the placement of dental implants. Additionally, digital imaging techniques enable the creation of highly accurate digital impressions, eliminating the need for traditional impression materials and improving patient comfort. The review article concludes with a discussion on the challenges and future prospects of digital technologies in dentistry. While digital technologies offer numerous benefits, including improved accuracy, efficiency, and patient outcomes, there are considerations regarding cost, training, and data security that need to be addressed. Nevertheless, with ongoing advancements in digital technologies, the future of dentistry holds immense potential for further innovation and improved patient care.
A common dental condition known as tooth decay is brought on by a combination between microbes and fermented sugars. Traditional preventive measures, such as oral hygiene practices and fluoride treatments, have proven effective in lowering the prevalence of cavities in the mouth. However, these approaches have limitations in terms of their effectiveness and accessibility. Caries vaccination has emerged as a promising approach to preventing dental caries, offering long-lasting protection against this disease. This abstract provides an overview of the prospects of caries vaccines, including their potential benefits, challenges, and limitations. While caries vaccines remain an area of active research and development, there are several promising prospects that suggest that by this approach potential cavity formation may be effectively avoided particularly. Ongoing research and evaluation of caries vaccines will be necessary to fully understand their potential benefits and risks and to develop safe and effective vaccines that can be widely used to prevent dental caries.
This review emphasizes about making the members of the professional Colleges aware of some important aspects of oral cancer in particular & cancer of body in general and its impact on the Dental Surgeons to be a part of the weapon against fighting this devastating disease. Cancer is the major public health problem affecting developed and developing countries. Therefore this review focusses on cancer management by taking into mind dental and medical considerations.
