Dentistry is a field of medicine that is highly favoured by technological developments, abounding in technical innovations that make the process of diagnosis, treatment and its monitoring more and more efficient. Advanced computer programmes support X-ray, which allows increasingly precise images to be obtained. In addition, computed tomography has been introduced into dentistry and adapted to the needs of this branch of medicine. Other ways to improve treatment include biomaterials, as well as computer-aided technology and 3D printing.
