Abstract: With the rapid development of digital technology, diagnosis and treatment methods of the clinicians have been changed by these digital technologies in the field of dental implant. In particular, data acquisition technology, such as CBCT, digital intraoral scan, extraoral scan, facial scan, virtual facebow technique, are gradually popularized in medical institutions with its high precision, high efficiency, convenient transmission and low pollution. Recently, it has become one of the focuses to build "virtual patient" using various digital data to solve complex cases such as edentulous patients in implant dentistry. This paper summarized the characteristics and clinical application of digital data acquisition technology in the process of dental implant treatment.
