Restoration design using CAD-CAM

Ceramic and composite materials are the most popular restorative materials in dentistry. The introduction of CAD/CAM technology to the dental field brought forward the option of more sophisticated restorations. These studies explore the scope and limitations of these new materials and technologies. This includes evaluations of minimal milling margins using a CAD/CAM machine, a proper understanding of the tollerances involved will allow the dentist to develope minimal tooth preparation designs, and offer less invasive restoration work.
