title: Financial considerations regarding acquisition of the Siemens Cerec computer reconstruction system.
abstract: There has been much interest in the in-office fabrication of ceramic posterior restorations using computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacture (CAD-CAM) units. One concern that practitioners have concerning the use of one of these systems is the initial expense of the CAD-CAM unit for the office. This article deals with the financial implications involved when considering the purchase or lease of a CEREC (CAD-CAM) unit.
