Abstract:
Background. CAD/CAM technology has redefined modern dental prosthetics by improving the precision,
efficiency, and aesthetics of all-ceramic restorations. This transition from traditional techniques to digital
workflows optimizes prosthetic treatment. With rapid technological progress and the continuous development
of the dental industry, the use of CAD/CAM technology in dental prosthetics has become a central topic of
research and innovation. CAD/CAM technology (Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing),
an essential stage in the design and fabrication process of dental prostheses, provides modern and innovative
solutions for complex prosthetic treatment tasks. This technology paves the way for the creation of
customized, precise, and durable prostheses that will revolutionize dentistry.
Objective of the study
Evaluation of the clinical and technical advantages of all-ceramic restorations fabricated using CAD/CAM
technology in relation to conventional techniques used in fixed prosthodontics.
Material and methods. Current clinical studies, specialized literature, and technical data regarding the digital
workflow were analyzed: intraoral scanning, CAD design, and CAM fabrication, with emphasis on ceramics
used in modern systems.
Results. All-ceramic restorations fabricated through CAD/CAM demonstrate superior marginal precision,
increased durability, and a significant reduction in working time compared with conventional techniques.
Marginal adaptation is positively influenced by the elimination of manual steps prone to errors.
Conclusions. CAD/CAM systems significantly contribute to modern prosthetic practice through increased
predictability and superior quality of restorations.
