Digitally-Driven Dentistry: Using Advancements
in Science and Technology to Deliver
Restorative Excellence
Sundeep Rawal, DMD
As dental practices transition from an analog to a digital world,
technologies are enabling doctors to provide care in ways they
never thought possible. "We can deliver restorative outcomes
that are easier, faster, cost less money, and really translate into
affordability for our patients," says internationally recognized
dentistry expert Dr. Sundeep Rawal. "Using cone beam computed
tomography and intraoral scanning acquisition enhances our
restorative workflows."
Doctors can now perform intraoral scanning with a CBCT and
get more utility out of that information than merely replacing an
alginate or a PVS material. Dr. Rawal explains that CBCT imaging
is more than just a 3D radiograph. The data acquired from CBCT
can be imported into a software application to help with design
and planning scenarios, creating definitive restorations, planning
provisionalization, or designing the smile.
Advantages of Intraoral Scanning (IOS)
IOS offers significant advantages, including:
* Eliminating the need for a physical master cast
* Easier transfer of information
* Ability for the doctor to gain instant feedback

"Instead of shipping physical impressions that take several days,
we're transferring data," says Dr. Rawal. "That saves time over
analog impressioning. And certainly, patients prefer digital scanning
compared to having intraoral material-based impressions. Data
shows that we can get much more accuracy when it comes to the
fabrication of restorations when the impression is taken through an
intraoral scan."
"What's shocking to me is that we have had CBCT and IOS
technologies in dentistry for decades, yet if you look at the
penetration in the marketplace, you'll see that we're only at about
15% for intraoral scanning and maybe a little bit more for CBCT
utilization," said Dr. Rawal.
CBCT for Guided Surgery
Taking dentistry one step further, doctors are using CBCT to not just
acquire data but to use the data through a guided protocol. "The
science shows that when we place implants through guided protocol,
we statistically get better results than if we free-hand it," says Dr.
Rawal. "If we take CBCT information and most importantly, we use
that CBCT information not just to measure a length and a width, but
