30 | 25 years of making connections

Shaping the future With a view to the next 30 years, the next generation of engineers and clinicians will continue to shape the future of implant dentistry with their fresh ideas and novel advancements. Key technological developments will drive improved treatment success and the patient experience with a focus on enhanced accessibility and affordability. Digital Technologies and Software Biomaterials 3D Scanning and Printing Integration with Healthcare Technology Advancements in digital dentistry, such as AI-driven diagnostics, virtual planning software, and intraoral scanning, will help streamline implant procedures, making them more accurate and less invasive. Continued advancements in regenerative medicine will support new ways to enhance tissue regeneration around implants, further improving long-term success and reducing complications. This rapidly growing field will become more mainstream for creating patient-specific treatment plans with high-precision surgical guides and temporary and final prosthetics. Implants and prosthetics have the potential to become integrated with other healthcare technologies. This could enable real-time oral health monitoring and potential early detection of issues. 3D
