title: Computerized design and manufacturing of esthetic dental restorations.
abstract: The "high-tech race" in restorative and esthetic dentistry is underway. The Cerec System, which currently leads the race, is reviewed. Other systems, which soon will be available, are discussed briefly. New and innovative technologies are sure to become a significant part of dentistry, both today and in the future. Many traditional methodologies and materials will be replaced by these new developments.
