Digital technologies have become indispensable in modern dentistry, facilitating unprecedented improvements in diagnostic precision, treatment planning, and prosthetic fabrication. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the current state and future prospects of digital dentistry, focusing on artificial intelligence (AI) applications in diagnostics, three-dimensional (3D) data acquisition through laboratory and intraoral scanning systems, computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) workflows, and the integration of augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) technologies. Technical principles, clinical applications, advantages, and limitations are critically examined. The challenges of cost, training, data interoperability, and clinical implementation are discussed, alongside emerging innovations that promise to further enhance patient care and clinical efficiency.
