CAD/CAM is computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing to improve the design and creation of dental restorations,especially dental prostheses, including crowns, crown lays, veneers, inlays and onlays, fixed dental prostheses bridges, dental implant supported restorations, dentures (removable or fixed), and orthodontic appliances.
For a single unit prosthesis, after decayed or broken areas of the tooth are corrected by the dentist, Next, we take a scan of your prepared teeth .The software sends this data to a milling machine where the prosthesis is milled. Stains and glazes can be added to the surfaces of the milled ceramic crown or bridge to correct the otherwise monochromatic appearance of the restoration. The restoration is then adjusted in the patient’s mouth and luted or bonded in place.
We can able to provide crowns within an hour for root canal treated tooth using CAD/CAM .
It has decreased chair time for the patient by the use of intra-oral scanning systems which allow us to send electronic impressions to our lab. The restorations are milled from appropriate blocks which has good esthetic and bond strength.
