title: Integrating the CEREC technology at UT College of Dentistry.
abstract: The computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) has evolved during the past 25 years, and this evolution has improved the speed and precision in which dentists can deliver high quality esthetic restorations. CEREC is an acronym for "ceramic reconstruction" and is one of the CAD/CAM systems available to dentists in private practice. The University of Tennessee College of Dentistry was one of the first dental schools in the United States to embrace this technology and integrate it into the four-year curriculum. In a dental school setting, this technology can prove to be an educational tool for the dental students, cost effective for the University and provide exceptional service for the patients.
