Computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) are the software that help dentists to accomplish complex procedures faster, effortlessly, and accurately. The CAD/CAM technology helps repair dental veneers, crowns, inlays, onlays, and bridges from a single block of ceramics that makes the final product more accurate than conventional fabrication methods.
Advancements in dental materials and computer technologies have helped CAD/CAM-fabricated restorations not just possible in dentistry but plentiful. When using CAD/CAM systems, operators can fabricate restorations from several elements, such as ceramics, metal alloys, and various composites. Also, dental service consumers are becoming more demanding in terms of aesthetics, with a clear notion for a minimum of staying and delaying in the dental offices. CAD/CAM technology, for the milling of prostheses in dental laboratories and dental offices, has helped to meet the demand of cosmetic dentistry users.
A few of the benefits offered by these systems comprise user-friendly operations, digital impressions, single-visit treatment, accelerated practice growth, improvement in patient safety, and long-lasting restorations. The CAD/CAM technology offers real-time troubleshooting that decreases the remaking of dental fixtures as the system can notify incorrect bit-offs.
Additionally, CAD/CAM warrants that dental practitioners can place a final and complete recovery in a week. Dentists have found that patients treated using these technologies have experienced fewer side effects of the treatment. CAD/CAM technology is rapidly being approved in the dental industry as it permits dentists to enhance their services and offer their patients a suitable experience. Thus, the advantages provided by CAD/CAM technology in dentistry are likely to boost the growth of the clear aligners market in the coming years.
