Abstract

Dentistry, like all fields of medicine, has benefited from technological advances in recent decades, including digital technologies that have revolutionised the way we approach patient care. One of the most notable advances in odontology has been the widespread adoption of digital radiography, allowing for sharper and more detailed images of dental structures, and significantly reducing ionizing radiation exposure. Furthermore, the ease of storing and transferring digital images simplifies multidisciplinary work and communication with patients1.
