Chair side cad-cam generated all ceramic restorations - a noval approach

CAD-CAM is an acronym that means computer aided designing/computer aided manufacturing. This technology has been used in the manufacturing industry for many years. Today, CAD-CAM technology is used in dentistry to help dentists fabricate precise shapes and sizes for dental restorations, including inlays, onlays, crowns and bridges. Dentists use chair side CAD-CAM technology to provide their patients with durable, well fitting single and multiple tooth restorations in a more efficient manner than traditional lab. fabricated restorations. In CAD-CAM, scanner scans the preparation and the software produces a three dimensional image on computer screen, allowing the dentist to use a cursor to draw the precise design of the tooth restoration. The chair side milling machine fabricates the restoration in a milling chamber that crafts a block of ceramic into a precise replica of the design on the 3-D model.
