Area of Science:

  • Dental technology
  • Computer-aided design and manufacture (CAD-CAM)
  • Restorative dentistry

Background:

  • CAD-CAM technology adoption in dentistry began in the 1980s, following its success in automotive and aerospace industries.
  • Commercial systems are now emerging, indicating significant potential for CAD-CAM in dental applications.
  • Recent literature, particularly from June 1992 to May 1993, focuses on CAD-CAM advancements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent literature on CAD-CAM technology in dentistry.
  • To familiarize readers with current systems and the rationale for their adoption.
  • To focus on the Cerec system due to its availability, chairside application, and existing data.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review with an emphasis on publications from June 1992 to May 1993.
  • Analysis of commercially available CAD-CAM systems.
  • In-depth examination of the Cerec system, including its track record and chairside capabilities.

Main Results:

  • The Cerec system, available since 1985, has a substantial data record.
  • The Cerec system offers a mobile, affordable, direct chairside CAD-CAM restorative method.
  • Recent literature predominantly features studies utilizing the Cerec system.

Conclusions:

  • CAD-CAM technology, exemplified by the Cerec system, presents a promising future for dentistry.
  • The chairside application of CAD-CAM enables efficient, single-visit restorations.
  • Further research and adoption of CAD-CAM systems are anticipated in the dental mainstream.
