Digital diagnostic modelling is needed to create a virtual representation of the patient’s dentition using digital tools. This type of modelling is particularly useful for orthodontic, prosthetic, or surgical planning. For example, a patient undergoing orthodontic treatment may require digital modelling to assess tooth alignment, occlusion, or spacing issues.
The primary benefit of digital diagnostic modelling is its ability to provide a precise and interactive representation of the patient’s dentition, enabling targeted interventions. By creating a digital model, clinicians can visualize the patient’s anatomy, identifying issues such as malocclusion, crowding, or spacing. This level of precision improves the likelihood of successful outcomes, particularly in cases of orthodontic or surgical planning. Additionally, digital models can be easily shared with other healthcare providers, facilitating collaboration and ensuring continuity of care.
Digital diagnostic models are invaluable for orthodontic, prosthetic, or surgical planning in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Surgeons rely on these models to plan procedures like orthognathic surgery or implant placement. The ability to share digital models with other providers ensures seamless collaboration, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes.
