Abstract: Abstract: Major changes are taking place in the oral implant therapy as a result of the rapid development of new digital technologies. In fact a lot of dental implant treatments that were previously manual tasks can be finished digitally and potentially more precise and quicker now. The aim of this study is to introduce the clinical application of digital technologies in oral implantology. Both advantages and limitations of current digital approaches to planning and implementing implant-supported restorations are listed and the future development is discussed in detail.
