Laboratory procedures in orthodontics

Revolutionizing Orthodontics: Bridging Conventional and Digital Laboratory Procedures highlights the crucial role of laboratory support in orthodontics, from basic tasks like alginate impressions to advanced appliances like clear aligners. The book explores both conventional techniques, such as study models and soldering, and the transformative impact of digital technologies like CAD/CAM. A special focus is on digital procedures, including 3D printing, which enhances precision, reduces treatment time, and improves predictability. Despite these benefits, adoption remains limited due to cost and technical challenges. This book is a comprehensive guide for orthodontists aiming to integrate both traditional and modern practices to provide superior patient care.
