CAD/CAM dental prostheses
 

CAD/CAM dental prostheses refer to the manufacture of crowns, bridges, or implant accessories using computer-aided technology. Both the design (CAD: computer-aided design) and the manufacture (CAM: computer-aided manufacturing) are carried out with the help of intelligent software programs and milling units connected to these programs.
 

This was made possible by the rapid developments in computer technology over the last few decades, which allow complex program controls to be linked to milling machines with expanded movement capabilities. Initially developed for the aerospace and automotive industries, the technology was eventually adopted in modern dental technology.

 

 

CAD/CAM technology can cover all work steps from surface scanning of the prepared (ground) tooth to milling the workpiece. First, the preparation must be transferred in three dimensions. The workpiece is then designed, taking into account its positional relationship to the adjacent teeth and the teeth of the opposing jaw. Finally, the design is translated into the workpiece by a milling robot.
 

While dentures in the posterior region are often already manufactured monolithically (from a single piece), crowns and bridges in the more aesthetically demanding anterior region are usually manufactured by first creating a CAD/CAM framework and then veneering it with ceramic materials. This veneer is still applied by hand by an experienced dental technician in several layers of color and then fired.
 

CAD/CAM technology has advanced the use of high-quality, biocompatible ceramic materials (feldspar, glass ceramics, lithium disilicate, zirconium dioxide). However, cobalt-chromium alloys, plastics, and biocompatible titanium can also be processed using CAD/CAM technology.
