O uso do sistema CAD/CAM em odontologia

Abstract

Dental technology evolved with CAD / CAM system creation (computer aided design: CAD -computer aided design and computer aided production: CAM - computer aided manufacturing), and adds some features to dentistry, aesthetics, precision, shorter clinical time and prostheses longevity. These are fundamental aspects for the development of prosthetic planning and rehabilitation, therefore has been suggested in the dental clinic. In this sense, the present work has as objective to know the available commercial systems, the digital workflows and to analyze the different materials used in the digital works through a literary review. The operation of the system can be industrial, laboratory or clinical, its process is divided into three stages: data capture, virtual design and machining. Technology evolution has enabled the development of new materials, more resistant and aesthetic, and greater durability of prosthetic restorations. Thus, these system revolutionized the prosthesis quality parameters, making the entire dental planning and manufacturing process more accurate, faster and more efficient.
