Digital dentistry and guided surgery are two related technologies that have transformed the field of dentistry. Digital dentistry involves the use of digital technologies such as intraoral scanners, digital radiography, and CAD/CAM systems to diagnose, plan, and create dental restorations. Guided surgery, on the other hand, is a surgical technique that uses digital technology to plan and execute dental implant placement with precision and accuracy.

Digital dentistry has made it possible to create highly accurate and detailed digital models of teeth and oral structures. This enables dentists to better diagnose dental problems and plan treatments using computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology. CAD/CAM systems use digital data to create dental restorations such as crowns, bridges, and veneers with exceptional precision and accuracy.
