| Summary | Digital technology is playing an increasingly important role in dentistry, because of its ability to support the practitioner and increase work efficiency. Among digital tools, orthopantomogram (OPT or panoramic) radiography is currently the most widely used. It provides a global view of the jaws, highlighting internal structures in 2D. As in other fields, scientific advances have made it possible to go beyond the limited representation of two planes of space and obtain 3D images. The intraoral scanner (IOS) or "optical impression camera" appeared in the mid-80s. They use light to create a digital optical impression that reproduces the surface of external anatomical structures in 3D images. It improves dental practice, making impressions less uncomfortable for patients, saving clinical tim |
