The era of digital oral medical care is coming: precision and comfort become new trends
[News] In recent years, with the improvement of oral health awareness and the advancement of medical technology, digital oral diagnosis and treatment technology is gradually becoming the mainstream of the industry. Compared with traditional treatment methods, digital technology not only improves accuracy, but also greatly improves the comfort of patients, making dental care no longer a "painful thing".
**Digital diagnosis and treatment is more accurate and more efficient**
At XX Stomatological Hospital, the reporter saw that the patient was using **3D mouth scanner** for moldless modeling. The whole process only takes a few minutes, and the data is transmitted to the design system in real time, so that the doctor can quickly formulate a personalized treatment plan. Wang XX, director of the hospital's implant department, said: "In the past, dental implants required multiple molds and trial wears, but now with digital guide technology, the operation time is shortened by more than 50%, the accuracy is higher, and the patient recovers faster after surgery." In addition, the AI-assisted diagnosis system can also help doctors detect problems such as caries and periodontal disease earlier, and achieve early intervention and early treatment.
**Children's dental caries are a prominent problem, and experts call for early prevention**
According to the latest statistics, the dental caries rate of 5-year-old children in my country exceeds 70%**, but the rate of medical treatment is less than 30%. Oral expert Li XX reminded that many parents mistakenly believe that "if the deciduous teeth are broken, don't worry about it". In fact, dental caries may affect the development of permanent teeth and even cause abnormal jaw development. It is recommended that children** have their teeth checked every 3-6 months** and carry out preventive treatments such as pit and fissure sealing as soon as possible.
**Oral health consumption upgrades, young people are more willing to pay for quality**
With the increase in health awareness, **the sales of products such as electric toothbrushes, water flossers, and teeth whitening** have grown rapidly. Data from a chain of dental institutions show that the average annual consumption of young people under 30 years old on oral care has increased by more than 20%, among which **invisible correction, minimally invasive implants** and other projects are the most popular.
**Expert advice: Choose a regular institution and check regularly**
At present, the dental industry is gradually being standardized, but there are still some low-price marketing and over-medicalization phenomena in the market. Consumers should choose a regular institution with a **Medical Institution Practice License** and develop the habit of having oral examinations **once or twice a year** to prevent problems before they occur.
