The dental industry is constantly evolving, and the promise of a 100% digital laboratory is increasingly becoming a reality. However, many dental labs (DLs) still grapple with the choice between the comfort of their proven management systems and the bold efficiency of new platforms.

A practical guide featuring a checklist for clinics and labs to evaluate the current state of their digital workflow, helping them identify opportunities for improvement before the year ends, setting the stage for a more efficient and profitable 2026.

Although digital dentistry has advanced rapidly over the past decade, one essential stage often goes unnoticed: Computer-Aided Imaging (CAI). This first step is the foundation of every accurate restoration, yet it’s frequently underestimated compared to the more visible design and manufacturing phases. Understanding its role is key to achieving true digital precision.

The digital revolution has transformed dentistry. Intraoral scanners and Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software are now essential tools. However, amidst this technological wave, we risk forgetting that excellence in dental design doesn't lie in the power of an algorithm, but in the expert mind operating it.

This article explores the strategic benefits of partnering with a dental CAD provider in a different time zone (like WeCAD4You), enabling a continuous workflow cycle and optimizing production by having design work completed while the local lab staff rests.

Digitalization isn't just a trend; it's an imperative for efficiency and precision. However, many practices continue to use the traditional method of sending physical models (impressions or gypsum models) to their labs or dental design services. This familiar process introduces unnecessary risks, costs, and delays.

This article reviews key studies that combine digital tools, morphological analyses, and clinical evaluations, offering a critical perspective on how relevant dental dimorphism may be in prosthodontic and forensic practice.

The idea of outsourcing this service can often raise some questions. However, if you recognize any of the following five signs, it's a clear indication that it's time to consider an external CAD design partner to optimize your operations.

The fear that technology will replace professionals is an echo of the past. In reality, the digital transformation in dentistry doesn't eliminate the technician's role but enhances it, elevating their value and importance as a strategic ally to the clinician.
