title: [The use of CAD/CAM system with zirconia in modern prosthodontics].
abstract: Computer assisted design/computer assisted machining (CAD/CAM) technology has received considerable clinical and research interest from modern dental practices as a means of delivering all-ceramic restorations. Up to now the CAD/CAM system with zirconia has the highest fracture strength in all all-ceramic materials, and consistently enabled the most esthetic, lifelike reproduction of natural dentition. They have been widely received by both dentists and patients. The CAD/CAM system with zirconia is indicated for crowns and bridges in natural teeth or implants and telescope dentures, the CAD/CAM with zirconia can be placed anywhere in the mouth, and can replace the porcelain crowns and bridges for single crown and bridges less than 6 units. This paper described the techniques of CAD/CAM system with zirconia in fabrication of crowns, bridges, telescope dentures and implant dentures with colored illustrations.
