    Computer-aided design in restorative dentistry
    (Springer, Cham, 2019) Abad Coronel, Cristian Gustavo; Tamimi, Faleh; Pradies Ramiro, Guillermo Jesús; Hassan, Bassam; Ferreiroa Navarro, Alberto
    As 3D printing, computer-aided machining, and optical scanners keep improving and are becoming more accessible, design software is rapidly becoming the next frontier in digital dentistry. Rapid prototyping technologies in dentistry were initially operated with generic software that was not specifically designed for dental applications. This was very inefficient and a limiting factor for digitalization of dentistry. The arrival of specialized software for different dental applications has made digital dentistry a reality by making it efficient and bringing it to its full potential. This chapter addresses the different types of software that has been developed for restorative dentistry. This includes software for fixed, removable, and implant prosthodontics as well as software for treatment planning

    Digitalization in restorative dentistry
    (Springer, Cham, 2019) Pinhata Baptista, Otavio Henrique; Abad Coronel, Cristian Gustavo; Ferreiroa Navarro, Alberto; Hassan, Bassam; Pradies Ramiro, Guillermo Jesús; Mina Zambran, Nataly Rabelo; Rodriguez Gonzalez Cortes, Arthur
    igitalization is the first step involving a digital restorative dentistry workflow. Although the digitalization process was initially confined to CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) dental procedures, nowadays a much wider range of dental procedures have been revolutionized by their ongoing digitalization. Digitalization consists basically of converting any physical 2D or 3D volume into an electronic information language codified in terms of only two possible digits (0 or 1) normally contained in an informatic file. The number of digitalized procedures and devices that have been incorporated into restorative dentistry is substantially growing. Digital photograph cameras, spectrophotometers for tooth shade matching, intraoral and extraoral scanners and 2D/3D radiological devices, spectrophotogrammetry, facial scanners, and jaw track motion systems are the main devices used to obtain digital information in restorative dentistry. The aim of this chapter is to describe to the reader the characteristics of every single family of devices as well as their specific nomenclature, features, and the types of file used
