Abstract

Digitalna tehnologija pridonijela je poboljšanju i pojednostavljenju postupaka postavljanja
dijagnoze, planiranja i provedbe liječenja u ortodonciji. CAD/CAM sustavi u ortodonciji našli
su primjenu u izradi alignera, mobilnih ortodontskih naprava, bravica kao i u indirektnom
postavljanju bravica. Ovaj pristup ima nekoliko prednosti za liječnika i pacijenta jer povećava
preciznost, izravno utječe na vrijeme tretmana kao i na predvidljivost. Unatoč svim prednostima
koje proizlaze iz digitalnoga tijeka rada, malo je ortodonata usvojilo ovu tehniku u svojoj
kliničkoj praksi, najviše zbog visokih troškova i nedostatka tehničke pripreme za pravilno
izvođenje.
Smatrajući pojavu CAD/CAM tehnologije izrazitom evolucijskom prekretnicom u povijesti
ortodoncije, s obzirom na to da pruža veliku mogućnost korištenja u kliničkoj praksi s
potencijalnim dobrobitima za pacijenta i praktičara, cilj ovog rada jest opisati kliničke primjene
digitalnoga tijeka rada u ortodonciji.

Abstract (english)

Digital technology has contributed to the improvement and simplification of procedures for
diagnosis, planning and implementation of treatment in orthodontics. CAD/CAM systems in
orthodontics have been used in the production of aligners, mobile orthodontic devices, braces
as well as in the indirect placement of braces. This approach has several advantages for doctor
and patient as it increases precision, directly affects treatment time as well as predictability.
Despite all the advantages arising from the digital workflow, few orthodontists have adopted
this technique in their clinical practice, mostly due to the high costs and lack of technical
preparation for proper execution.
Considering the emergence of CAD/CAM technology as a distinct evolutionary turning point
in the history of orthodontics, considering that it provides a great possibility of use in clinical
practice, with potential benefits for the patient and the practitioner, the aim of this paper is to
describe the clinical applications of the digital workflow in orthodontics.
