What is the future of CAD/CAM?
CAD/CAM software is helpful for dentists as it is an essential in designing parts. It’s gives quicker and more accurate design format. It allows visualization of voxel data from CT machines during the design process. It’s a better for dental laboratories..
Those long familiar with the field were able to predict early on that manufacturing centres would play a crucial role: high efficiency, specialised personnel, centralised material purchasing, and high quality standards for the ‘standard restoration’ enable an efficient output that in turn makes it possible to pay off investments in high-tech manufacturing machines, while increasing cost-effectiveness (Figs. 5 & 6). Mid-sized and smaller dental laboratories will make best use of their core competency in the computer-supported manufacture of high-quality aesthetic restorations and in the specialised production of partial and implant-supported prostheses. Figs. 5 & 6: Milling centres have an ingenious quality-control system for processing ZrO2 ceramic for crown- and bridge frameworks (Fig. 5; Photo: Etkon–Straumann). Milling centres operate costeffective and according to standardised manufacturing procedures (Fig. 6; Photo: Heraeus Kulzer). Another trend is the computerised fabrication of
