CAD CAM:

CAD/CAM dentistry is dentistry that uses CAD/CAM technology to create dental prostheses, like crowns, veneers, and dentures. Computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) have become an increasingly popular part of dentistry . CAD/CAM may be used to provide a machine-led means of fabricating dental prostheses that are used to restore or replace teeth. The use of CAD/CAM in dentistry was developed to solve 3 challenges. The first challenge was to ensure adequate strength of the restoration, especially for posterior teeth. The second challenge was to create restorations with a natural appearance. The third challenge was to make tooth restoration easier, faster, and more accurate.
