title: A development of computerized laminate veneer restoration system.
abstract: The fabrication of laminate veneer requires many complicated procedures and skills to obtain good accuracy and shape. Thus, the use of CAD/CAM is subjected to in laminate veneer fabrication in order to reduce complication and time consuming. In this study, CAD/CAM system of laminate veneer fabrication was developed. The system consisted of laser displacement meter, computer-controlled scanning machine and personal computer. This system is able to measure tooth shape with three dimension, design and manufacture laminate veneer shells of ABS resin with satisfied accuracy and shape.
