New Faces of Digital Dentistry The Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine (GSDM) has long been a leader in digital dentistry. In 2014, we became the first dental school in the country to go “fully digital” and to offer a seamless digital environment for providing oral healthcare to our patients and for educating our students. Now, more than five years into that journey, our students are “digital dentistry natives”—digital dentistry is all they have ever known at GSDM, as we have immersed them in the technology from their first days on campus. As we continue to push technological boundaries—see page 12 for more on that—we wanted to take the pulse of our current students and ask: What does digital dentistry mean to you? Why is it important? How has it changed the way you learn and the way you will practice?
