title: Dental lab technology in the digital age.
abstract: The "Information Age" is starting to have an impact on dental technology. Procera, Cerac and several other digital systems are commonly used by many technicians. Other systems are being developed and marketed. Computer Aided Design (CAD) can be used by dental technicians to create precise dental restorations. Solid modeling techniques can provide unique dental applications.
