QDT 2020 presents original articles introducing clinical and laboratory techniques for optimal esthetic results with newer dental materials. Digital dentistry is featured throughout, with articles offering innovative ways to incorporate a combined digital/analog approach to build character and natural esthetics in CAD/CAM restorations. The 3D-printed interim immediate complete denture, self-glazing liquid ceramics, Inside Out technique, and 3D Magic MakeUp are but a few of the novel procedures featured in this beautifully produced annual resource for the laboratory technician and restorative clinician.Authors includeMario Alessio Allegri ⢠Michael Bergler⢠Markus B.

We must develop a greater understanding of nature for technology to advance
In this Masterpiece, I have selected six functional and esthetic maxillary anterior cases, ranging from a simple single crown to a complex combination of implant prosthesis, crowns, and laminate veneer restorations. Despite the variety of these cases, there is common thread running through all of themâthat is, my greatest focus is the seamless integration of the prosthesis with natural elements, including natural teeth, gingiva, and the bone, thus achieving oneness with nature.
In recent years, digital dentistry has been the prevailing trend in the dental world, and I notice many articles and presentations that emphasize the use of digital technology in dentistry. To be sure, the integration of digital technology in dentistry is a welcome trend, and undoubtedly, my work has also greatly benefited from it. However, now, more than ever, it would seem to be the right time to take a moment and carefully examine our use of digital technology in present-day dentistryâparticularly in the laboratory setting.
Notably, some dental laboratories handle management, as well as all stages of fabrication, solely via digital technology. Dentistry, however, is inherently based on human interaction, and thus should not rely on digital manufacturing aloneâI would argue that the âhuman touchâ is necessary, even crucial. We must never forget that the patients we are treating are beings who originate with nature.
As a Japanese native, I was intrigued to learn that the word ânatureâ is said to have not existed in Japan until 1603. And it was not until around 1868 that the Japanese word âShizenâ came to be recognized as the translation of the English word ânature,â thus leading to the term becoming widely used in Japan. One could say that until then, nature had been so ingrained in Japanese life that it had not been necessary for the concept to be recognized as its own word. Such a notion would surely apply to other cultures as well, as humans have lived alongside nature from long ago.
Varying ways of life and the variety of existing cultures are the result of differences in the natural environment. Whether the environment is warm or cool, or whether the environment is surrounded by the sea or by mountainsâthroughout history, such factors have had a direct bearing on the life and culture of certain regions. Thus, it is difficult to separate the concepts of nature and technology. Yet, while digital technology brings ease and convenience to the dental fabrication process, I canât help but feel that so much is lost when dental prostheses are fabricated solely through such means. It is as if pursuing convenience results in the loss of the ability to sense what is good and what brings happiness.
All aspects of dental treatment rest in the hands of people. In order to fabricate high-quality dental prostheses, the skills, knowledge, and experience of those involved in the process are essential. âExperienceâ is a term that encompasses many things, but one crucial aspect of experience is failure. Digital technology may allow us to create dental prostheses with greater convenience and precision, but going through the process of trial and error and overcoming mistakes gives the work of a technician a human touch that simply cannot be replicated by digital technology. A technician who has thoroughly experienced failure is able to fabricate a dental prosthesis that is richer and more organic due to such experiences.
At a glance, attaining simplicity may seem easy. Yet, it is in fact quite the opposite, for it requires the elimination of excess. What is truly important is to work with clear standards in mind. We have now reached 2020, and as technology continues to advance, I believe that modern dentistry must find a way for the âhuman touchâ and âdigital technologyâ to achieve harmony with one another. Rather than leaning toward one method or the other, we must bring the best of both worlds together, bringing dentistry into harmony with nature. In so doing, we will be able to reach greater heights in dental prosthetic treatment, leading to greater pa...
