Area of Science:

Dental materials science
Computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) in dentistry

Background:

Traditional cast dental restorations often exhibit inadequate occlusal contacts.
Achieving accurate occlusal harmony is crucial for restoration longevity and patient function.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce and evaluate the Cicero system, a computerized approach for fabricating dental restorations.
To demonstrate the system's capability in producing restorations with accurate occlusal surfaces.

Main Methods:

The Cicero system utilizes optical scanning for data acquisition.
It employs nearly net-shaped metal and ceramic sintering for fabrication.
Computer-aided crown fabrication techniques are integral to the process.

Main Results:

The Cicero system fabricates ceramic-fused-to-metal restorations with precise static and dynamic occlusal contact relations.
It produces crowns, fixed partial dentures, and inlays with layered materials for strength and aesthetics.
A case study of a mandibular first molar crown demonstrates the system's application.

Conclusions:

Computerized design and fabrication systems, like Cicero, can overcome limitations of traditional cast restorations.
The Cicero system offers a viable method for producing high-quality dental restorations with optimal occlusal function and esthetics.
