New technologies introduced into clinical dentistry in recent years have added immeasurably to the quality of care that may be provided. Lasers, dental implants, CAD/CAM, and motorized endodontics have all improved clinical outcomes but require a significant investment in hardware and, most importantly, education to understand concepts and protocols. As with all medical instrumentation, it is not enough to follow basic guidelines or ``preset'' parameters in approaching each patient situation. A deep understanding of the technology, how it interacts with the patient's tissues and what variables are important to consider is necessary for a successful clinical outcome.
