Interdisciplinary digital simulation of orthodontic setup modeling and dental implant treatment

Abstract

Digital technology is getting popular in various fields of dentistry. It has become possible for doctors to perform treatments safely and securely, and to improve quality of treatment. In particular, the interdisciplinary approach, which promotes new workflow developments by conducting inter-sectional collaboration across multiple clinical departments, is considered to be well compatible with digital technology. We have developed an integrated simulation software. It is possible to share simulation data information among healthcare professionals such as dentists, dental hygienists, and dental technicians. Therefore, this software can lead to a successful interdisciplinary approach across oral implants, orthodontics, prosthetic dentistry and oral surgery. This manuscript introduces the functions of our software. We will continue to research and develop tools that will help dental industry and provide them to dental fields.
