Study Notes
Impact of CAD/CAM Technology on Dentistry
- CAD/CAM technology has dramatically impacted all disciplines of dentistry, especially prosthodontics and restorative dentistry.
- The integration of CAD/CAM technology with advances in biomaterials has led to significant changes in education and patient care.
CAD/CAM Components
- A CAD/CAM system consists of three major parts: data acquisition unit, software for designing virtual restorations, and a computerized milling device.
Classification of CAD/CAM Systems
- Laboratory systems: classified into laboratory CAD/CAM (scanner and milling units), laboratory CAD (scanner only), and laboratory CAM (milling unit only).
- Chairside systems: classified into chairside CAD/CAM (scanner and milling units) and image acquisition system (scanner only).
Classification of Scanners
- Intraoral scanners: optical scanners, separated into single image cameras and video cameras.
- Laboratory scanners: classified into optical scanners and mechanical scanners.
Guidelines for Tooth Preparation for CAD/CAM Generated Restorations
- Incisal/occlusal reduction: depends on material type and restoration design (0.5 mm to 1.5 mm).
- Axial reduction: depends on material type and restoration design (0.5 mm to 1.5 mm).
- Total convergence angle: should be between 48 and 68 degrees.
- Morphology of internal line angle: should be rounded to avoid confusing scanners and prevent inaccurate scanning.
- Morphology of gingival margin: should be either a rounded shoulder or a deep chamfer to prevent inaccurate scanning.
