Summary
Chairside computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) enables same-day dental restorations, eliminating the need for provisional devices and multiple appointments. This technology streamlines quadrant dentistry for enhanced patient convenience and efficiency.
Area of Science:
- Dental Technology
- Restorative Dentistry
- Digital Dentistry
Background:
- Traditional laboratory-based CAD/CAM requires multiple patient visits and provisional restorations.
- Advancements in chairside CAD/CAM offer potential for single-visit dental treatments.
Observation:
- This case presentation details the workflow for single-visit, in-office CAD/CAM quadrant dentistry.
- Chairside systems allow for the fabrication and placement of definitive restorations in one appointment.
Findings:
- Single-visit chairside CAD/CAM provides significant benefits for producing aesthetic and precise dental restorations.
- The described sequences facilitate efficient in-office fabrication of quadrant restorations.
Implications:
- Chairside CAD/CAM technology enhances patient experience by reducing treatment time and visits.
- This approach optimizes dental practice workflow for complex restorative procedures.
