Digital CAD/CAM technology has revolutionized the dental industry and enables faster and more precise fabrication of dental restorations. This innovative method makes doctors' work easier and improves the patient experience. The planning process Once the impression has been digitized, the dental technician starts planning the dental prosthesis on the computer. With the help of CAD (Computer Aided Design), the size, shape and position of the dentures are precisely determined. The tool enables detailed planning and integration of functional elements so that the dentures fit the patient's mouth perfectly. The manufacturing process Once the plan for the denture is finalized, the CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) process takes place. This process involves manufacturing the dentures based on the digital plans. The CAD/CAM system uses a special milling machine to precisely machine the material for the dentures (high-quality zirconium). This manufacturing process is extremely precise and time-saving, meaning that the dentures are produced more quickly and efficiently. Fitting and checking Once the dentures have been completed, the dentist checks the accuracy of fit and functionality. Digital CAD/CAM technology enables a thorough check and ensures that the dentures fit the patient's mouth perfectly. If necessary, minor corrections can be made on the basis of the digital plans and the dentures can be remade. The advantages of digital CAD/CAM technology Digital CAD/CAM technology offers numerous advantages in the production of dentures. Firstly, in contrast to conventional impressions, digital CAD/CAM impressions are faster and more convenient. There is no need for traditional impressions, which can be time-consuming and uncomfortable for the patient. Secondly, digital design and fabrication provides more accurate results, so dentures fit better and last longer. Thirdly, digital CAD/CAM technology allows the patient to be involved in the planning process so that they better understand and accept the treatment.
