Let's Implement CAD/CAM Dentistry into Your Practice!

Many dentists still consider the dental CAD/CAM to be non-essential due to the assumption that the system is still in its developmental stages. However, from the perspective of the 3D industry, the dental CAD/CAM system is already considered a success. The system involves a series of procedures that include measuring, designing, and processing, all of which do not require any specialized knowledge. The system’s success is best demonstrated by its full practical application in dentistry today. The dental CAD/CAM has many benefits for patients and healthcare professionals, and the general public is amazed with the technology. Why do you still not have one?

• The New Workflow Created by CAD/CAM Technology

  Oral scanners have become essential devices in our current practices. All procedures in many fields, including prosthodontics, implants, and orthodontics, begin with scanning. The new CAD/CAM workflow, which begins with data scanning, has changed how we practice dentistry. Our presentation will be on various new treatment styles we expect to see in the future seen from various angles, regardless of the system (open or close).

• The Evolution of CAD/CAM Technology Led by Dentistry

  CAD/CAM technology has become an indispensable technology in dentistry. Along with the development of monolithic materials and the evolution of optical impressions, CAD/CAM technology has significantly contributed to the spread of complete digital workflows that do not require models, which used to be the basis of prosthetic treatment. The high-precision treatment technology realized by such digital technological innovation meets the needs of prosthetic dental treatment and is currently spreading and evolving outstandingly than other fields of medicine. This lecture will explain the advanced and future development of CAD/CAM technology in dentistry and discuss the database-based prosthetic dental treatment.

• 5 Steps to Enter into Digital Dentistry: The Intuitive Aadva Solutions

  When we think of digital dentistry, we know that there is no dentist who is not intrigued or attracted, or who has at least tried some of them in the many sector exhibitions. However, what still holds back many professionals in adopting digital technologies are some concrete questions: "How can I include them in my workflow?", "How can they improve what I already know how to do well?", "How much time do I have to waste to learn to use them? ”,“ Should I change my dental technician? ”, “ How often do I have to change these digital devices?”. The lecture aims to guide the practitioner in evaluating the benefits of digital technologies, helping the undecided to embrace some new opportunities.

• Transition of CAD/CAM Dentistry in Japan

  Digital technology represented by dental CAD/CAM is rapidly spreading in Japan. Approximately 90% of dental treatment in Japan is carried out under the public health insurance system, and full metal cast crowns of gold-silver-palladium alloys had accounted for the majority. However, the CAD/CAM resin crown started from the premolars in 2014, and with the development of the material, the molars and anterior teeth were also covered by the public health insurance system, and now the ratio of the CAD/CAM resin crowns and metal crowns is almost the same in the premolars. This change has had a great impact on the spread of CAD/CAM technology in dental clinics and laboratories.
