Why it matters for dental
Practice owners and specialists adopting digital workflows need to understand emerging jaw-tracking technologies now, as this scoping review will map their clinical performance and limitations when it is published in January 2027.
Key points
- The review will synthesize evidence on jaw-motion-tracking systems used in prosthodontics, orthodontics, and TMJ evaluation.
- Authors are from the University of Hong Kong Faculty of Dentistry, indicating potential Asia-Pacific device or protocol insights.
- Scoping-review format means it will identify evidence gaps rather than provide meta-analysis of specific outcomes.
- Clinicians planning capital purchases or software upgrades in 2027 can use the forthcoming synthesis to compare device accuracy, workflow integration, and patient-selection criteria.
