Quintessence of Dental Technology 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.
