CAD is
designing porcelain teeth in a computer-aided environment. CAM is the
production of porcelain teeth from porcelain blocks. In CAD-CAM technology, the
dentist takes an impression with a special scanner. The scanning is then sent
to the computer and the teeth are designed accordingly. Porcelain restorations
are virtually designed to perfectly fit the patient's mouth.
What kinds
of restorations are produced with CAD-CAM?
With
CAD-CAM technology we produce restorations including porcelain veneers,
indirect nano-composite restorations, zirconia, porcelain crowns without metal
support and bridges.
Which
dental problems can benefit from CAD-CAM?
Teeth
with aesthetic and functional problems, malfunctions of chewing due to small
deformities, color defects, teeth gaps, slightly crooked teeth, abrasion,
broken teeth, short teeth, disproportionate teeth, teeth with functional
problems, teeth with extensive missing tissue, bad chewing function due to
missing teeth, aesthetic problems, and in teeth that constantly get food stuck
in between them.
