The Covid 19 pandemic has had a huge impact on human society as a whole. The field of dentistry is not an exception to this. Adaptation to the new situations in the pandemic, due to the vulnerability of dental staff and students, is highly necessary. To do this newer protocols have been generated that are to be used along with the strict adherence of older safety methods. With the advancements of technology, Teledentistry, online learning and other digital alternatives are being introduced to enhance, preserve and continue the various fields of dental practice and education. With the onset of the pandemic, the amount of research being done in various fields of digital dentistry has increased from 2019 to 2020 compared to that of previous years. This review provides an insight about the digitalization of dentistry, the most common technologies in use, a few technologies that have a promising future and the tremendous rise in the research of digital dentistry.
