FUNCTIONING OF CHAIRSIDE CAD-CAM SYSTEMS
Pragati Parasher, Tarun

Over the last fifty years ceramic in its various forms has been the material of choice for replacing lost tooth structure as its most natural look-alike replacement. Conventional forms of ceramic could not be casted directly on the die and required a metal substructure on to which ceramic veneering was done. This form of ceramic was called a metal ceramic restoration but it lacked the lifelike appearance and true shade matching for which the ceramic was introduced into dentistry. Further research in the field of ceramic as a dental prosthesis material led to the development of all ceramic restorations which had improved shade compatibility and better patient acceptance. This article summarizes about the chairside fabrication of all ceramic restorations.
