Quintessence of Dental Technology QDT 2018

QDT 2018 presents original articles with a beautiful array of images showcasing the year s newest techniques, materials, tools, and innovations. This year s focus is decidedly digital digital treatment planning, digital communication, and digital multidisciplinary workflow for esthetic and functional rehabilitations. Minimally invasive techniques are highlighted throughout, including their use for full-mouth rehabilitation and to restore the morphology of teeth damaged by wear. A special how-to article on focus stacking macro photography by Carlos Ayala Paz is the first to be published specific to dentistry.
