Fluxo digital e seus benefícios na relação cirurgião-dentista e paciente – revisão de literatura

Abstract

Introduction: Dentistry has undergone a great revolution with the digital workflow, transforming diagnosis, planning, and treatment executed by the dentist (DS). Objectives: To highlight the benefits of digital workflow to the DS's daily routine and their patients. Methodology: This is a literature review, carried out in the following databases: PubMed, Scielo, and Google Scholar. Results: The digital workflow has specific applications in dental specialties, based on intraoral scanning with or without cone-beam computed tomography, enabling more complex and accurate diagnoses, allowing digital reconstruction of the entire craniofacial and dental complex, with greater precision and detail of the teeth, shorter chair time, and greater comfort for the patient. Conclusion: Digital workflow is efficient in terms of time, making treatment more predictable through digital planning, providing greater comfort for the patient during appointments and after procedures.
