The Microscopic and Digital One-Day-Dentistry Concept is a new and cutting-edge workflow, first time published by Dr. Behnam Shakibaie and his research team at the University of Pennsylvania, that will revolutionize prosthodontic and esthetic dentistry treatment protocols in the future.
Dr. Shakibaie is an Entrepreneur and a renowned pioneer in Microscopic Dentistry and Implant Microsurgery, a multi-specialist in Implantology, Periodontology, Oral Surgery, Microscopic and Digital Dentistry.
Along with his scientific team, they have been working on a research project for over 5 years to finally release the scientific article in the US COMPENDIUM, the highest circulated dental journal in the world, 2 months ago.
Nowadays, the digitalization of dentistry is inevitable and determines almost all sectors in this profession, from academic education and research up to daily practice, with enormous advantages for patients, particularly in regard to time saving and predictable treatments.
Compared to routine conventional dentistry, implementing the digital workflow has even widely improved the accuracy of treatment outcomes in prosthodontics and esthetic dentistry.
But there are still noticeable precision gaps in the working chain of digital dentistry, for instance, in stages of tooth preparation, soft tissue management around the tooth, scanning process, restoration margin control after milling procedure, and the final delivery in the mouth of the patient. Decreased or missing exactness in each of the mentioned steps can affect the treatment outcome in a significantly negative way.
Shakibaie and his research team at the Department of Preventive and Restorative Sciences at the School of Dental Medicine of the University of Pennsylvania discovered this important shortcoming in digital dentistry already in 2020 and planned to integrate the utilization of dental microscope into every stage of the routine digital dentistry in order to close the above-mentioned precision gaps.
The published "Microscopic and Digital One-Day-Dentistry Concept" requires a tight collaboration between the clinician and in-house technician, enabling high-quality tooth preparation and restoration margin adaptation to achieve short-term and long-term treatment success. Utilizing this technique, multiple appointments are eliminated, thereby increasing efficiency, preserving occlusion, and marginal fitness. The workflow provides highly predictable, time-efficient, same-day single-tooth restorations with maximum accuracy to ensure patient long-term satisfaction.
