Description

The latest innovations in TECHNOLOGY made almost all things possible in this world. The lost-wax precision casting of gold alloys, dough modelling and curing of acrylic resins and powder sintering of dental porcelains were originally developed for dentistry and are well established as conventional dental laboratory technologies. As dentistry evolves into the digital world of image capture, computer design, and the creation of dental restorations through robotics, the dental laboratory must evolve as well. Computer-aided design/Computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) restoration gives us that option. The technology, which is used in both the dental laboratory and the dental office, can be applied to inlays, onlays, veneers, crowns, fixed partial dentures, implant abutments, and even full-mouth reconstruction.
