   An optical impression of the prepared tooth is taken using a camera. Next, the specific software takes the digital picture and converts it into a 3D virtual model on the computer screen. A ceramic block that matches the tooth shade is placed in the milling machine. An all-ceramic, tooth-colored restoration is finished and ready to bond in place.

   Chrome-cobalt disc with bridges and crowns manufactured using WorkNC Dental CAD/CAM. CAD/CAM dentistry is a field of dentistry and prosthodontics using CAD/CAM (computer-aided-design and computer-aided-manufacturing) to improve the design and creation of dental restorations, [1] [2] especially dental prostheses, including crowns, crown lays, veneers, inlays and onlays, fixed dental prostheses ...

9. Bioceramic - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioceramic

   Aluminosilicates are commonly used in dental prostheses, pure or in ceramic-polymer composites. The ceramic-polymer composites are a potential way to fill cavities, replacing amalgams suspected to have toxic effects. The aluminosilicates also have a glassy structure. Unlike artificial teeth in resin, the colour of tooth ceramic remains stable.
