Combining CAD-CAM technology with the stamp technique for direct composite resin restorations

Direct composite resin restorations have been commonly used to restore carious and defective teeth, but they are time-consuming, and reproducing the natural anatomy of teeth is challenging. The stamp technique is a relatively straightforward method of achieving precise and biomimetic restorations in posterior teeth but is only suitable for teeth with complete anatomy. This article describes 2 treatments completed by dental predoctoral students under faculty supervision. The integration of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing technology has extended the applications of the stamp technique, facilitating efficient, esthetic, direct resin restorations by early career dentists.
