Digital Dentistry Connect is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to advancing the integration of digital technologies into dental practice. The journal publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed research that advances the clinical, technical, and scientific aspects of digital workflows, promotes the integration of innovative digital tools into everyday dental practice, and encourages the evidence-based adoption of technologies such as CAD/CAM, intraoral scanning, imaging, artificial intelligence, and 3D printing. Through these efforts, the journal aims to serve as a leading resource for innovations and research in digital dentistry.
