        abstract = {Background: The field of prosthodontics has undergone a substantial evolution, driven by advancements in digital workflows, biomaterials, implant technology, regenerative methods, and artificial intelligence.
Objective: This review seeks to illuminate the latest developments in prosthodontics and assess their practical implications for clinical care.
Methods: A comprehensive narrative review was performed, searching PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases for studies published between 2005 and 2025, with a focus on digital dentistry, dental implants, regenerative prosthodontics, artificial intelligence, and esthetic materials.
Results: The review identified five key areas of innovation: (1) Digital workflows (CAD/CAM, 3D printing) improved accuracy and reduced treatment times; (2) Implant-supported prosthodontics benefitted from enhanced osseointegration surfaces and guided surgery; (3) Regenerative prosthodontics explored stem cells, scaffolds, and bioprinting; (4) Artificial intelligence applications facilitated personalized treatment planning and predictive analysis; and (5) Advances in esthetic materials (zirconia, hybrid ceramics) improved functionality and appearance.
Conclusion: Prosthodontics is transitioning from conventional, mechanically driven rehabilitation toward biologically integrated and digitally enhanced care. Future directions will emphasize AI-driven personalization, regenerative solutions, and patient-centered outcomes.},
