THE FUTURE OF DENTISTRY
Conference keynote speaker Dr Patrick Dixon for 3M
Many changes are occurring in the technology of dentistry.
Computer Aided Dental Restorations: The CEREC Demo!
Computer added laboratory creation of new tooth colored dental restorations is one of the dental technology fields that is moving forward. For several years now, and increasingly in the future, dental restorations are made by computer in the dentist’s office. Currently combining an in-office / in mouth scanner, 3d design and manufacturing software design software, and computer milling machines (CADCAM) like CEREC and E4D are allowing the creation of dental restorations in office.
But the process currently works best only on a select number of cases, usually on single teeth restorations, especially those with clear dental margins and easy tooth anatomy. But slow and steady progress continues, and within as little as a decade the majority of tooth restorations will be made entirely by computer.
