Abstract
Digital impressions have emerged as a
transformative innovation in pediatric dentistry, offering an alternative to
traditional impression techniques that often pose challenges in young patients.
Intraoral scanners (IOS) provide accurate three-dimensional recordings of
dentition without the discomfort associated with conventional materials. They
reduce chairside time, enhance patient cooperation, and integrate seamlessly
with CAD/CAM systems for efficient appliance fabrication². This review explores
the evolution, types, advantages, clinical applications, limitations, and
future trends of digital impressions in children. The growing role of digital
workflows—augmented by artificial intelligence, 3D printing, and
teledentistry—is reshaping pediatric dental care for precision, safety, and
child-centered outcomes. Evidence from recent clinical studies underscores the
growing acceptance and accuracy of IOS in children, suggesting a shift toward
digital-first diagnosis and treatment planning.
