Abstract

Digital dentistry has been at the forefront of modernisation in dental practises. The aim of current dental practises is to provide an aesthetically pleasing and fast treatment options for improved patient satisfaction. Integration of CAD-CAM in dental prosthesis designing has helped achieve these goals. But a big drawback of unwanted occlusal discrepancies has been ignored for long. The development of the Virtual Articulator software has helped solve this problem by allowing the visualisation of occlusal contacts in static as well as dynamic conditions in the CAD software. Newer techniques of setting up Virtual Articulators leading to complete digitization of designing process have been discussed along with the future potential of integrating 3D and 4D haptic based technologies in the software for better dental education.
