CAD/CAM: Computer-aided prosthesis design and manufacturing

Recently, computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology has been used to design and manufacture single, multiple, or complete dental prostheses.

This method of designing and manufacturing dental prostheses offers many advantages for the patient.

CAD/CAM technology allows greater precision in the manufacture of prostheses, which thus offers a more natural look.

Compared to conventional manufacturing methods, delivering full dentures with CAD/CAM technology requires fewer appointments (two visits), which saves time. This can be beneficial for the elderly.
