Digitisation is becoming a reality on the European dental market, with the issue becoming both tangible and clearly perceptible throughout the entire value-added chain. Digital-based equipment and processes have already transformed the workflow to a degree barely comparable with other sectors.

Dental products realised through 3D printing or video consultations are probably only the beginning in this respect.
