Computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), also known as CAD/CAM technology, enhance the design and creation of dental restorations such as crowns, veneers, inlays, onlays and bridges from a single block of ceramic.
Crowns
The most significant advantage offered by CAD/CAM technology is improved accuracy. By utilizing this software, outsourcing crowns and other restorative options to the lab will no longer be required. As such, the entire dental restoration process can be completed in one office visit and reduce the need for a temporary restoration.
Computer-aided design (CAD) software is designed to guide a clinician through designing a 3D digital model of a crown, bridge, denture or other dental restoration.
Dental 3D software – a special software is required to create custom dental implants based on a 3D scan of the patient’s mouth. The dental 3D software is an important component of the digital dentistry value chain and can be expensive.
