I would hate you to think that I am anti technology... Just frustrated by items that are badly programmed or badly designed. However one area has revolutionised what we do and that is in the area of magnification. Dentistry really has become micro surgery and it is common now to blow up x-rays to 200 times normal size, and for labs to blow up photos of teeth by the same amount while making a crown for example. We have much more predictability and consistency now in what we do, but inevitably as standards rise so does the time it takes to get things done. Even some difficult fillings now will be done under magnifying loupes. These higher standards should be reflected in increased longevity and reliability of patients treatment, hopefully saving patients money on replacements in the future.
