Digital Documentation in Prosthodontics: A Comprehensive SummaryDigital documentation has emerged as a transformative force in prosthodontics, fundamentally changing how clinicians record, plan, and execute prosthodontic treatments. Traditionally, documentation in prosthodontics relied on handwritten records, stone models, physical impressions, and film-based radiographs. While these methods served their purpose for decades, they were limited by factors such as human error, degradation of physical records, storage challenges, and inefficiencies in data sharing. The advent of digital technologies has addressed many of these limitations, introducing a level of precision, reproducibility, and integration that was previously unattainable.At the heart of digital documentation lies the ability to capture, store, analyze, and share clinical data with remarkable accuracy and speed. One of the foundational elements of digital documentation is high-resolution digital photography. Clinicians can capture detailed intraoral and extraoral images, utilizing specialized cameras, lenses, and lighting to document initial presentations, monitor treatment progress, and evaluate final outcomes.
