title: Tooth-colored posterior restorations using Cerec Method (CAD/CAM)-generated ceramic inlays.
abstract: The ability to provide patients with esthetic tooth-colored posterior restorations produced from "factory-standardized" ceramics in a single visit is a unique feature of CAD/CAM technology. Recent improvements in the hardware and computer software of the Siemens CEREC CAD/CAM System have improved its ease of use and the quality of the restoration produced. Attention to tooth preparation requirements and care in the cementing and finishing procedures remain requirements for the production of these restorations.
