Abstract:
In modern CAD/CAM technology of dental prosthetics, the "optical impression" taken by special video cameras deploying 3D-recording of the oral situation (Cerec 1, Cerec 2) initiates the computer-generated production of a digital model. The computer receives and renders the digital data obtained through "optical impression" i.e. data acquisition not as a "negative" of the oral situation but as a "positive" copy of it, namely as a digital model in a virtual environment which can be displayed on the screen and be further used in the fabrication of dental prostheses by means of a computer-assisted device (CAM or CIM).
