Statement of the Problem: The classic model of H. Kagermann of the current stage of Industry 4.0 contains only nine IT technologies referred to as cyber-physical systems, which the originator recognized as IT only after ten years. This model ignores the need for progress in the field of materials, without which it is impossible to produce any product, as well as machines and production technologies limited only to additive manufacturing, without considering the necessary development of all other technologies. The diagram above shows the proprietary Industry Integrated Idea 3xI 4.0 model/5/0, showing two approaches of producers and consumers focused on products. They are illustrated by parallel planes: technological with four determinants, materials and multi-cyber- physical factors, and consumer with ecology and economy, recognized as coincident horizontal factors. The model captures the three most important challenges regarding the sustainable development of engineering materials and the ongoing revolution in digitization, and ecological challenges related to the need to minimize the environmental footprint out of concern for the well-being of present and future generations. Over the last few decades, there has been a systematic development of modern dentistry, described by the proprietary model of Sustainable Development of Dentistry (DSD) > 2020, consisting of Global Dental Prophylaxis (GDP), Advanced Interventional Dentistry 4.0 (AID 4.0) and the Dental Safety System (DSS). The Dentistry 4.0 model is about dental engineering fully corresponding to the 3xI 4.0/5.0 model of industrial development, and the modern prosthetic production center's standards fully correspond to the smart factory. This concept is characterized by advances in cloud computing, 3D imaging using CBCT, computer-aided design and manufacturing CAD/ CAM, data manipulation, personalized incremental technologies so-called 3D printing. This requires complete understanding on the part of dentists and close cooperation with highly specialized dental engineers with fluent knowledge of technology, material engineering, and applied IT. Due to poor substantive education, stereotypes, simplifications, and erroneous and anachronistic solutions in this area are often disseminated to the detriment of patients, which is often reflected in specialist and scientific literature. Conclusions: A highly developed level of engineering support for dentistry requires systematic education of dentists in the field of advanced issues of dental engineering and revision of medical study programs in this area.
