The filling is natural-looking, compatible with tissue in the mouth, anti-abrasive and plaque-resistant. What does this innovation mean for a patient?Ī tooth-colored restoration means no more silver fillings discoloring smiles. Finally, the dentist bonds the new restoration to the surface of the old tooth.
Then CAM takes over and automatically creates the restoration while the patient waits. This optical impression is transferred and displayed on a color computer screen, where the dentist uses CAD technology to design the restoration. The dentist uses a special camera to take an accurate picture of the damaged tooth.
Translated, it means that a dentist can economically restore damaged teeth in a single appointment using a high-quality ceramic material that matches the natural color of other teeth.ĬEREC uses CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing) technology, incorporating a camera, computer and milling machine in one instrument. One breakthrough instrument, called CEREC®, allows dentists to quickly restore damaged teeth with natural-colored ceramic fillings, saving patients time and inconvenience.ĬEREC is an acronym for Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics.
Cutting-edge innovations in dental instruments are requiring less time in the dental chair, causing less discomfort and creating satisfying results. Many people, however, aren’t aware that technology also is impacting dentistry in new and exciting ways. Technology today is changing our everyday lives.
