Digitalization in Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics

The usage of digital technology in dentistry is growing rapidly. Ongoing and further research should be integrated with clinical practice for better results. It should not be implied that digital smart data technologies will replace humans and their capacity for patient empathy. The collection, storage, and analysis of digitized biomedical patient data poses several challenges. In addition to technical aspects for the handling of huge amounts of data, an ethical and meaningful policy must ensure the protection of patient data for safety and management.However, the benefits of digital applications will complement human qualities and abilities in order to achieve improved and cost-efficient healthcare for patients. Augmented intelligence based on Big Data will help to reduce the incidence of misdiagnosis and provide other more useful insights quickly, accurately, and easily. This is all achievable without losing the human touch.
