With so much external input, it is imperative that today’s clinician utilize the technology available to us in our examinations both initially and periodically. Patients retain much more information when presented visually. The “new” diagnostic tools available to us can improve our efforts in educating our patients. By proper utilization of the diagnostic tools available, our case acceptance will soar. In addition, our clinical confidence can be improved by visual tools that enhance our diagnostic and clinical capabilities. These technologies also allow us to diagnose conditions earlier, monitor changes over time, and create a more collaborative experience for the patient. When patients can clearly visualize their oral condition and better understand the “why” behind treatment recommendations, trust and engagement naturally increase.
