Digitalized dentistry enables efficient, fast and precise, and error-free production of fixed prosthodontics appliances. The term ¿Digitisation¿ refers to the conversion of an image or signal into digital code by scanning, tracing, or a graphics tablet or using an analog-to-digital conversion device. The field of dentistry continuously demonstrates innovation and improvement on many fronts. The more recent advances in dentistry have involved the adoption of digital technologies in all forms to improve the quality of care and patient experience.

Metals and alloys play an important role in dentistry. These form one of the four possible groups of materials used in dentistry which include ceramics, composites and polymers. These are used in almost all the aspects of dentistry including the dental laboratory, direct and indirect dental restorations and instruments used to prepare and manipulate teeth. Although the latest trend is towards the ¿metal free¿ dentistry, the metals remain the only clinically proven material for long term dental applications.

Esthetics is defined as ¿A branch of Philosophy dealing with the nature of and with judgments concerning beauty¿. For dentistry, the concept of esthetics was narrowed by Scmarer (1978) as esthetics include the morphological aspects only, but Stein (1978) extended it by including cosmetics, e.g. colour related aspects into the science of esthetics. ¿Esthetics¿ is defined as being a derivative of the Greek word ¿aisthetikos¿, meaning ¿perceptive¿1. It pertains to the sense of the beautiful or the science, which deduces from nature and taste the rules and principles of art.
