The doctor spoke about the high-tech future of dentistry

In the near future, technologies in the field of dentistry will step forward — for example, 3D scanning can be done in almost every clinic. This was stated by Sergey Malanyin, an orthopedic dentist, expert of the Legislative Assembly of the Russian Federation Health Committee, head of the scientific laboratory of the Institute of Osteopathy of the Russian Federation, on Thursday, September 18.

"Aligners are complemented by remote monitoring: the patient sends photos, the doctor adjusts the plan without unnecessary visits. Digital Smile Design and AR fitting align expectations before the start of treatment, reducing the likelihood of alterations. Planning of work taking into account facial scanning of the face in dynamics," the doctor listed in an interview"Газете.Ru ".

He noted that digital impressions and 3D scanning will be used in the diagnosis of diseases, and artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms will allow detecting caries and other dental and oral problems.

"Laser protocols allow for the removal of affected tissues gently and often without infiltration anesthesia. Bioactive materials remineralize enamel; CAD/CAM restorations are performed in one visit — less temporary fillings and discomfort. Abrasive‑air systems selectively remove caries, preserving healthy structures as much as possible," the dentist said.

It is also expected to introduce a number of new technologies in the fields of implantology and surgery, as well as unique optical systems for posture analysis.

Earlier that day, Roman Wolberg, a dental surgeon, implantologist and periodontist, named the most common mistakes that lead to dental problems. So, according to the doctor, one of the main enemies of oral health is haste. Daily dental care should take at least three minutes per set.

The day before, Polina Soldatkina, dentist-therapist at SM-Dentistry, said that frequent use of bleaching strips and ready-made gels can lead to damage to the enamel and chronic irritation of the mucous membrane.
