Navigating the Revolutionary Pathway Through Addressing the Challenges in Implementing Dental Blockchain Technology: A Review

Abstract

The integration of blockchain technology into the dental industry has a significant potential to change different aspects, especially patient data management, safety registration, and improving the transparency of transactions. However, the application of dental blockchain faces many challenges, such as technology complexity, obstacles as prescribed, data security issues, and resistance to the changes of stakeholders in the industry. This review article discovers the revolutionary path of blockchain implementation in dental practice by offering these challenges and an overview of feasible solutions. It examines the current status of dental blockchain technology, its potential advantages in improving safety, access, and efficiency, and obstacles that lead to general implementation. Further inspection of the pilot applications and projects in the real world, emphasizing the need for standardized executives, cooperation between stakeholders, and creative approaches to overcome obstacles, is crucial to bridge the existing gap. Finally, the article has a roadmap for future research and development to guide dental experts, decisions, and technologies to navigate the evolutionary landscape of dental blockchain technology successfully.
