Abstract
An adoption of the industrial application related to reverse engineering, computer numerical control (CNC), and rapid prototyping has been made in dentistry during the last couple of decades. Digital technology has become increasingly involved in dentistry to replace what were previously manual tasks as well as in response to new biomaterials that cannot be processed by the conventional methods. The evolution of these technologies has led to a perceptible impact on many dental disciplines, including restorative dentistry. Accordingly, the dental educational landscape has been and will continue to be changed relative to dental education journals nowadays include digital technology in dental treatment. Laboratories are increasingly using digital technology to fabricate restorations. Dental schools start to embrace some digital dental technologies in their undergraduate curricula or design a separate course. To keep pace with these ongoing changes, dentists require certain basic knowledge if they are to benefit from these new procedures. This article provides an overview of how these technologies work.
