Abstract:
Digital prosthodontic technology has brought great changes to the prosthodontic technology in China by improving the quality of prostheses, adding new types of restorations, changing the manufacturing methods of restorations from handmade to computer-aided manufacturing, bringing new operating models of dental laboratories, and promoting the academic status of the prosthodontic technology. Digital prosthodontic technology still has some problems, such as insufficient precision for some manufacturing methods and shortage of professionals. Technicians and administrators of prosthodontic technology should face up to the problems and seize the opportunities, to improve the level of prosthodontic technology and train the highly educated professionals. At the same time, attentions should be payed to the advantages of the traditional prosthodontic technology while grasping the development of the digital prosthodontic technology. The dentists and the dental technicians should learn together and enhance communication to each other, to promote the progress of digital prosthodontic technology in China.
