CAM
Computer assisted
design/computer assisted machining (CAD/CAM) technology has received
considerable clinical and research interest from modern dental practices as a
means of delivering all-ceramic restorations. The CEREC, System offers CAD/CAM
dental technology designed for clinical use by dentists, as well as a separate
system designed for dental laboratory technicians. The CEREC 3 system is
indicated for dental operatory applications, and the CEREC inLab, system is
indicated for dental laboratory applications. Although both systems rely on
similar CAD/CAM technology, several significant differences exist in the
processing techniques involved, restorative materials used, and types of
restoration provided.
