About this episode
A comprehensive overview of the application and technology of Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Assisted Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) in dentistry, tracing its history from industrial origins to modern clinical use. The text details the digital workflow, including the transition from analog impressions to digital impressions using various scanners, and the importance of open versus closed architecture for file sharing. It further explores the manufacturing processes, specifically subtractive milling and additive 3D printing, along with the different types of restorative materials optimized for these techniques. Finally, the sources discuss the role of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) in treatment planning and highlight how CAD/CAM technology is revolutionizing dental education through computerized preparation evaluation and enhancing procedures like implantology and digital denture fabrication.
