EDUCATION BASED ON TECHNOLOGICAL RESOURCES IN DENTISTRY. A PARADIGM SHIFT

Dentistry is so changing and constantly evolving that uses tools based on digital flow, such as Patient Scheduling, digital photography, more efficient and comfortable work areas based on equipment that adapts to the patient, taking impressions with scanners (dental molds) that allow for the quick, clean and reliable construction of prosthetic materials (inlays, veneers, prostheses) immediately, on third-dimensional reproduction equipment Computer-Aided Design Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD-CAM) 3D Printers.1 It is assumed that dental education must use these tools to train future health professionals through the teaching-learning process in an area that, if left aside, will be very difficult for this professional in training to overcome the disadvantage. This is why it is essential to permanently review the study plans and evidence, which allows making the necessary adjustments and meeting the demands of teaching in Dentistry with the purpose of making timely, relevant and population-based decisions and that the health system expects from the profession, that is why this author proposes a paradigm shift that must begin with the transforming axis so that the transformed axis receives current, dynamic knowledge, based on current trends.
