CAD-CAM Technology: Computer-Aided Precision Dental Restorations

In traditional dentistry, porcelain restoration processes using plaster impressions are now being replaced by digital technology. The CAD-CAM (Computer-Aided Design / Computer-Aided Manufacturing) system used at Prodenta Dental Clinic offers more precise, more aesthetic, and faster results.

What is CAD-CAM Technology?

  • CAD (Computer-Aided Design) refers to the three-dimensional design of porcelain teeth in a computer environment; CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing) refers to the production of these designs by milling them from porcelain blocks with millimeter precision. Intraoral scan images taken with a digital camera are transferred to the computer, and the ideal restoration is virtually modeled using the patient's other teeth as a reference.

Restorations Produced with CAD-CAM

  • porcelain veneers (leaf porcelain)

  • Zirconium crowns and bridges

  • Metal-free all-ceramic crowns

  • Indirect composite (nano-composite) restorations

  • Onlay and inlay restorations

In what situations is CAD-CAM preferred?

  • Minor shape and color irregularities

  • Spaced or slightly crooked teeth

  • Broken, worn, or short teeth

  • Disproportionate tooth sizes

  • Food accumulation under the fill and interzone compaction.

  • Chewing dysfunction due to missing teeth

  • Large, discolored, and aesthetically unappealing old fillings.

Advantages of CAD-CAM Over Traditional Methods

  • Digital measurement allows us to take measurements without causing discomfort to patients who experience a gag reflex.

  • Thanks to milling technology, edge fit is perfectly achieved; the risk of food getting stuck under the filling is reduced.

  • Biocompatibility and color harmony are prioritized during the restoration.

  • Since natural teeth are used as a reference, the resulting porcelain has the same morphology and dimensions as the original tooth.
