Collection Overview
The integration of augmented reality (AR) and 3D digital innovations in medicine and dentistry has been transformative, offering disruptive solutions to common problems and revolutionizing healthcare practices. AR enables real-time visualization and interactive manipulation of anatomical structures, allowing surgeons to overlay critical patient data for precision and reduced risks. In dentistry, 3D digital innovations enhance diagnostics, treatment planning, and customized 3D fabrication.
This Methods Collection aims to provide a resource for researchers, clinicians, and educators interested in harnessing the potential of the latest cutting-edge technologies. The collection aims to feature methods, protocols, or case studies illustrating different approaches to AR and 3D digital technologies in medicine and dentistry. Contributors will explore topics such as AR-guided surgery, dental CAD/CAM systems, artificial intelligence medical education simulations, and immersive engagement.
The aim is to empower the knowledge to adopt and adapt these new technologies in clinical practice to promote a better understanding of how different technologies can enhance personalized care. Through comprehensive tutorials and case presentations, this collection aims to serve as a resource for driving innovation in medicine and dentistry.
