The Digitalization Revolution in Dental Health Care and the Application of VR and AR

Session

Computer Science and Communication Engineering

Description

The digital revolution has radically changed the world of dentistry, so the digital transformation in dental medicine is based on electronic health information, also known as one of the major changes of the 21st-century digital world which is addressing the current challenges of the future in dental as well as oral health care.

This progress has been exponentially supported by the Internet of medical things (IoMT), big data and analytical algorithms, internet and communication technologies (ICT) including digital social media, augmented and virtual reality, and artificial intelligence (AI). The interplay between these sophisticated digital aspects has dramatically changed healthcare, and especially that of dental care. These received applications of technology will not only be able to direct dental (oral) health care but will facilitate the workflow, increase oral health at a fraction of the actual cost, facilitate the work of the dentist and dental support staff from their routine tasks which are also tedious. As a narrative summary of this paper, we can emphasize that the latest digitalization of dentistry that includes technological advances, limitations, challenges, and modern theoretical conceptual approaches to oral health prevention and care, especially in quality assurance, efficiency, and strategic dental care in the modern era of dentistry.
