Our personal and professional lives are increasingly dominated by digital technology. In dentistry, the platform that is reinventing clinical operations, improving patient-clinician and inter-professional interactions, changing education, and improving practice management is a core digital data collection consisting of radiographs, pictures, and intraoral scans. Technologies we never could have imagined have and will continue to be made possible by an exponential rate of innovation.¹

With the introduction of computer tomography in the 1970s, dentistry has progressively embraced digitization throughout the past 50 years. The advent of digital workflow and computer-aided manufacturing, which made novel techniques and materials accessible for dental application, were the most revolutionary developments in digital dentistry. Computer-aided manufacturing makes it possible to use industrial- grade material, guaranteeing consistently good material quality, whereas the traditional lab-based workflow calls for light or chemical curing under irregular and suboptimal conditions. In the field of digital dentistry, numerous more cutting-edge, less revolutionary, but nonetheless pertinent techniques have been created. These will affect therapy, diagnosis, and prevention; as a result, they will affect patients' oral health and, in turn, their quality of life related to oral health.²

A good example of digital dentistry taking over is Dentin-Pulp regeneration. Traditional methods of treating irreversible pulpitis and apical periodontitis involve cleaning the pulp area and then filling it with different substances; this procedure is referred to as a root canal therapy. Regenerative therapies for the dentin pulp complex were developed as a result of several drawbacks, such as the loss of tooth vitality and defense mechanism against carious lesions, susceptibility to fractures, discoloration, and micro leakage. Restoring physiological pulp functions, including as pulp immunity, pulp repair capacity through mineralization, and pulp sensitivity, is the aim of dentin-pulp tissue regeneration.³

The convergence of forensics, epidemiology, and artificial intelligence; telehealth; advancements in dental education; and breakthroughs in technology- supported health monitoring and care are other digitally enabled applications that have an impact on dentistry. These are frequently disregarded, yet they could have a significant impact on dentistry in the future.⁴
