Undoubtedly, the four challenges facing dental technology we have described in this article are not the only ones, but they are the major ones as identified by the participants in the Dental Technology Summit. The attendees conducted active discussion on all of these points and developed potential solutions. It was gratifying to see the various political and organizational factions agree on the challenges, and the participants felt at the conclusion of the conference that the described challenges are, in fact, those that need immediate attention. We will discuss suggested potential solutions in a column in the June issue of JADA.
