Abstract: Implant dentistry, along with social media and dentistry, is undergoing a digital revolution, which affects the whole process of implant treatment protocol, including data collection for patient information, surgical planning, implant placement, and the later restoration. The aim of this paper is to review the application of cone-beam computed-tomography (CBCT), intraoral scanning, facial scanning, digital workflow for implant treatment, and computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM). With the knowledge of artificial intelligence, this paper also takes a perspective insight into digital implantology.
