Abstract

Digital inequality in dentistry remains a significant issue in modern healthcare. The level of digital technology implementation varies greatly across countries and regions, directly affecting the quality and accessibility of dental care. The active development of CAD/CAM systems, 3D diagnostics, teledentistry, and artificial intelligence demonstrates high efficiency, yet their implementation is constrained by economic, infrastructural, and human resource limitations. In countries with limited funding and uneven digital infrastructure, access to advanced technologies remains restricted, widening health disparities among populations.
