All-ceramic material is being combined with CAD/CAM technology to improvepatient results. These restorations avoid the dark lines that may appear belowthe gum line, as can be seen with porcelain-fused-to metal treatment. Inaddition, CAD/CAM systems can be used to customize all-ceramic restorativework to improve the fit of dental restorations. CAD/CAM technology creates a3-D image of the restoration site before manufacturing a personalizedprosthetic. These systems are often able to reduce turnaround times inmanufacturing, enabling patients to receive their final restorations sooner.Chair-side CAD/CAM systems (located in the dental office), have the additionaladvantage of eliminating the need for temporary crowns or a second visit tocomplete the restoration process. Together, the material and technology allowfor a more natural smile in a shorter time.
