CAD/CAM international magazine of digital dentistry No. 4, 2016

CAD/CAM editorial | 03 CAD/CAM 4 2016 During the last several years, we have witnessed widespread digitisation of life. I read recently that as many as 6 of the 7 people use their smartphones in the first hour after waking up, and 75 percent of smartphone owners use it for a while before falling asleep. Interestingly, the younger the owner of the smartphone, the higher the percentage is, and using the device after waking occurs within a few minutes. Is it searching for knowledge or an addiction of accessing information? I think that everyone should personally answer this question. Our publications are also available online; we offer mobile applications, create newsletters and webinars. We provide news and information in 25 languages, 7 days a week to keep our readers updated whenever they open their smartphones. In this issue of the CAD/CAM magazine, you will find articles on CAD/CAM-supported restor- ative dentistry, digital workflow, practice management as well as a cone beam supplement with very well documented articles on diagnostic imaging in clinical practice and implant treatment. Lina Craven explains how to manage expectations of the management role to turn into success, and highly experienced business consultant Chris Barrow presents his opinion on globalization in dentistry. Also informative is the interview with Dr Margareta Hultin, a senior lecturer at the Department of Dental Medicine at Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm in Sweden, about immediate CAD/CAM restoration and recent developments in implant dentistry. I hope you will find this issue interesting and I would like to remind you that all DTI publications are available as E-Papers at www.dental-tribune.com.
