Dental practice owners and associates face rising pressure to adopt new technology without clear evidence it improves clinical outcomes or reduces workload, risking capital outlay and workflow disruption without measurable ROI.

Key points

  • Editor letter highlights the gap between rapid tech evolution and actual clinician efficiency gains in dental practices.
  • Focuses on balance: identifying which technologies improve patient care versus those that add administrative or chairside burden.
  • Targets practicing dentists and owners deciding on equipment and software investments amid unclear productivity data.
  • Emphasizes need for evidence-based adoption rather than following industry trends that may not translate to better outcomes or reduced stress.
