Abstract
The concept of making an impression has undergone a paradigm shift as a result of the development of highly accurate and novel impression systems based on new technologies.1 Digital intraoral imaging represents a cutting-edge technique that allows the dentist to create a virtual computer-generated replica of the hard and soft tissues. Digital impression-making techniques are highly accurate, and they will undoubtedly lessen the need for traditional techniques in the near future. The information is stored in specialized software to be utilized in the manufacture of appliances, positive replicas, or other restorations. Additionally, this makes it possible to access data at any moment for further research and follow-ups. The future of digital dentistry is bright, but there is still work to be done to make sure that the technology delivers significant benefits to practitioners and patients in terms of therapeutic outcomes, regardless of how beautiful the process itself maybe. At the same time, it must be kept affordable and investments should yield a solid return.1
