“Truth is, you can no longer deny the evidence that argues for the use of enhanced visualization. No one would practice without radiographs or an operatory light, after all.

Ditto CAD/CAM restorative dentistry and digital impressions: The fine details of tooth preparations simply demand enhanced vision,” said Dr. Strassler.
