The benefits of transitioning from traditional analog workflows in dental practice to digital workflows are numerous and can be attained with wise choices and solid support. This transition begins with the integration of digital intraoral scanning into routine operations. The purpose of this article is to increase awareness of the clinical and management benefits of digital scanning and to aid clinicians in decision making regarding the incorporation of this technology into dental practice. Having a better understanding and appreciation of the implications for ease of use, accuracy, and enhanced success can help make digital scanning and workflow an attractive option.

Dental School, University of Bari, Bari, Italy.
Objective: Due to their consistent and individualistic patterns, palatal rugae (PR) are used in forensic dentistry as an ancillary method for personal identification. This study aimed to compare the impression of the PR obtained with the classic alginate impression and casting of the plaster model with the impression of the palate made with an intraoral scanner. Both impressions were compared with each other and with the photograph of the palatal rugae.
