title: [The synergy of radiology and CAD/CAM].
abstract: For treatment planning purposes, data acquired with cone-beam computer tomography and data from other three-dimensional imaging techniques can be combined in a single dataset. With the aid of this combined dataset extensive treatment planning and prosthetic solutions can be realised. The planning and production of the definitive prosthetic solution can then be accomplished using computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing technologies. These technological developments are expected to play an increasingly significant role for chair-side solutions.
