Summary/Abstract: The digital revolution and new information technologies, as well as the ability to access any scientific information, have changed the relationship between doctor and patient. In dentistry, more and more software products and hardware devices have entered, which are a factor in the development of future treatment strategies and processes. Modern dentistry diagnoses and plans through 3D digital X-ray examination, caries detector, 3D electronic periodontal probe, thermal camera, smile design software, ultrasound recorders for lower jaw movements, etc. The information obtained in a non-invasive way for the patient is sufficient not only for making a diagnosis, but also for choosing a treatment method, it eliminates manual procedures and the possibility of commulating inaccuracies and human error. Digital impressions made with intraoral cameras have replaced conventional ones. They immediately generate a computer image on which the dentist projects the design of the future dental construction or orthodontic appliances, and the associated software produces, by milling or printing, the future product. These processes are fast and accurate, reduce human labor, save clinical time, and sell patients more than just health and new experiences.
