CAD-CAM Technology: A literature review

Health Technology Assessment of CAD/CAM in Dentistry

Introduction: Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) are the latest achievements of Prosthodontics and Restorative Dentistry. The aim of this research is to help make appropriate decision whether to use this technology in Iran. Methods: Studies were included in this review that compared Dental CAD/CAM with conventional restorativ...

Fabricating complete dentures with CAD/CAM technology.

Conventional complete denture prosthetics require several appointments to register the maxillomandibular relationship and evaluate the esthetics. The fabrication of milled complete dental prostheses with digital scanning technology may decrease the number of appointments. The step-by-step method necessary to obtain impressions, maxillomandibular relation records, and anterior tooth position wit...

CAD/CAM Technology in Implant Dentistry

When a patient presents with a need and a desire for implants to replace missing teeth, correct execution will only occur with thorough planning [1-4]. Recently introduced technology may benefit both the dentist and the patient when restoring with dental implants, in that the implants will be placed in an ideal, predictable, and planned location [4-7]. Implant dentistry is constantly challengin...

Comparative study of Interim Materials and CAD/CAM systems: a Literature of Review

Prosthodontic treatment sometimes requires a long-term interim fixed dental prosthesis (FDP) until the definitive restoration can be cemented. However, some interim materials are weak and do not have an adequate marginal seal. The CAD/CAM systems have developed considerably, offering accuracy and more options than previously. It can be envisioned that CAD/CAM technology developments will contin...
