Abstract:
The fabrication process of restorations made by chairside computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) is different from the conventional fabrication techniques. Chairside CAD/CAM system with digital intraoral scanning and in-practice milling device allows for a quick manufacturing of restorations. However, many factors involved in the clinical and CAD/CAM workflow may affect the clinical outcomes, especially the marginal adaptation of the restorations. This commentary summarizes the factors affecting the marginal adaptation of CAD/CAM restorations and recommends the solutions to achieve improved clinical outcomes.
