CAD-CAM in dentistry
TLDR
In this paper, the CAD-CAM has been applied in the clinical practice of dentistry for the purpose of producing complete crowns, inlays, and onlays as well as fixed prostheses from various materials.Abstract:
It is possible to produce complete crowns, inlays, and onlays as well as fixed prostheses from various materials through use of computer-aided design and manufacturing. This report from France stresses the clinical application of this system. After a long period of research, computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) in dentistry has become clinically applicable. This article U exclusively aimed at the clinical practice of dentistry. Setting aside scientific considerations, the practitioner will learn, through this paper, how the system is used.read more

Efficient data representation of teeth model
TL;DR: In this article, a computer-implemented method was proposed to generate a computer model of one or more teeth by receiving as input a digital data set of meshes representing the teeth; selecting a curved coordinate system with mappings to and from a 3D space; and generating a function in the curved coordinates system to represent each tooth.

The use of CAD/CAM in dentistry
Gary Davidowitz,Philip G. Kotick +1 more
TL;DR: The history of CAD/CAM in dentistry is discussed, the advantages and disadvantages are described, the main products available, how to incorporate the new technology into your practice, and the future applications are addressed.

Systems and methods for varying elastic modulus appliances
TL;DR: In this paper, a system comprising a series of polymeric shell appliances configured to receive the teeth and incrementally reposition individual teeth in series of successive steps is presented. But the individual appliances may be formed from layers having different stiffnesses (elastic moduluses), and the stiffnesses of successive appliances may differ, or both.

A comparison of the marginal fit of crowns fabricated with digital and conventional methods.
TL;DR: The fully digital fabrication method provided better margin fit than the conventional method, and the overall mean ±SD vertical gap measurement was significantly smaller than that for the conventionally made crowns.
