title: Conservative restorative treatment using a single-visit, all-ceramic CAD/CAM system.
abstract: Computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) continues to radically change the way in which the dental team plans, prepares, and fabricates a patient's restoration. This advancing technology offers the clinician the ability to scan the patient's failing dentition and then designs a long-lasting, reliable restoration based on this data. CAD/CAM systems also permit efficient, single-visit placement of the restoration while preserving much of the natural tooth structure. This article discusses how a chairside CAD/CAM system can be used to provide such a restoration in the posterior region in a single-visit.
