CAD-CAM technology is the best example of the development of modern technology in dentistry.
This superior technology, called Computer-Aided-Design/Computer-Aided-Manufacture, is a computer simulation that allows the design and manufacture of prosthetic devices (inlays, onlays, crowns and bridges).
Using CAD-CAM technology, the dentist can restore your teeth with biocompatible material of excellent features better than all the materials used so far, in just one visit.
The replacement procedure is quick and easy – with the help of a special camera a digital print of the teeth is taken, and then the data is computer processed and converted into a 3D model of the recorded replacement teeth.
The final step is to create a ceramic restoration of pre-sintered blocks in the mill, which will perfectly match the other teeth in color and in hue.
ADVANTAGES:
It is simple (no fingerprinting)
It is fast (replacement is done in an hour or two)
It is of good quality and precise
There is no need to create temporary crowns
