Abstract

The digital transformation of dental imaging represents one of the most significant changes in contemporary clinical practice, integrating improvements in diagnostic quality, patient safety, operational efficiency, and environmental sustainability (1-3). In this context, the adoption of digital technologies goes beyond the incorporation of new devices and represents an evolution of the care model toward safer, more efficient processes aligned with the principles of modern healthcare (4).
