What Is CAD CAM Dentistry?

Global manufacturing has used Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) solutions for decades to produce a wide range of high-precision tools, parts and products. In 1985, the dental industry adopted CAD CAM systems, which led to a digital revolution that transformed restorative dentistry. By changing the construction of dental prostheses and the ways in which dental restorations are carried out, CAD CAM solutions have optimised the ease, efficiency and accuracy of these procedures. Since then, CAD CAM technology has continued to advance, creating digital workflows that ensure patient experience, comfort and results.

Dental CAD CAM, as a concept, refers to a field of digital dentistry, in particular, prosthodontics, that uses digital CAD CAM technology to improve teeth restorations. From the fitting of veneers, crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays, dentures, and fillings to the placement of dental implants, fabrication of dental prostheses, and creation of digital impressions, CAD CAM solutions are taking over the world of restorative dentistry.

What Are The Benefits Of CAD CAM Solutions For Restorative Dentistry?

• Dental practices can benefit from the digital workflows enabled by CAD CAM solutions. This is because dental CAD CAM helps to optimise the efficiency, accuracy and ease of restorative procedures, particularly when compared to traditional methods.
• CAD CAM enables a more concrete and intuitive treatment plan through the use of an intraoral scanner and CAD software. This eliminates human error. It also enables the creation of digital impressions and a 3D model, which ensures patient comfort by being less invasive.
• CAD CAM blocks are much easier to work with than traditional dental materials, such as glass ceramics, which are notoriously time-consuming to work with. In contrast, CAD CAM restorations are milled from solid blocks of composite resin or ceramic, which are easy and quick to work with.
