Digital Smile Design

Cad-Cam Technologies

Digital dentistry applications, which we call Cad Cam, mean computer-aided design (Computer Aided Design) and computer-aided manufacturing (Computer Aided Manufacturing).

A 3D image is taken from the teeth with an intraoral camera integrated into the computer. Very fine details that are very difficult to see with classical measurement methods can be recorded with this scanner in a few minutes. The image taken is transferred to the computer environment and the design phase is started. The form, size, relationship with the surrounding tissues, in short, all the features of the restoration planned to be made are determined. After the final checks are made on the software, the computer-aided production phase is started. After the color and material selection, the appropriate block is engraved. The restoration produced by engraved on the same day is ready to be placed in the patient's mouth, and the treatment is completed after the necessary checks are made in the mouth.

With CAD/CAM systems, all kinds of restorative and prosthetic dental treatments can be performed. Porcelain laminates, zirconium coatings, full ceramic crowns, which are frequently applied in aesthetic dentistry, and porcelain inlay-onlay fillings and endocrowns, which are especially made in cases where there is very little healthy tooth tissue left, can be produced in the shortest time and with maximum precision thanks to CAD CAM.

Its biggest advantage is that it offers a very precise working opportunity. It ensures that the detail of the image taken and the harmony of the restoration with the tooth are very high. It is the most up-to-date treatment method where the margin of error is minimized. Restorations prepared very quickly provide great convenience to the patient and the doctor by shortening the number and duration of sessions. The person can have their teeth on the same day. Problems such as nausea reflex encountered in classical measurement methods have been eliminated. Patient comfort is at the forefront.

A large number of block options allow for the most natural and appropriate material selection. Data transfer to the laboratory without touching it provides a more hygienic working opportunity. Other advantages include the fact that all records and design are completely realized on a software, data can be stored in a digital environment, and the possibility of error due to human factors is minimized.
