CAD/CAM Systems
CAD/CAM systems are widely used in dentistry today in the production of dental prostheses. For many years this technology has been used in production for multi-piece recreation. In dentistry, CAD/CAM systems attract attention with their ability to make the prosthesis in a single and unique copy. Because every human tooth has an inimitable shape of the denture bed.
Functions of Popular Machines
In the contemporary market, companies offering various prosthetic manufacturing systems each have their own unique features and advantages. Generally, these systems perform one similar task: they design dental prosthetics using 3D modeling software and manufacture them using milling machines. This particular technology offers dentures production accuracy, comfort and time advantages, as manual molding technology cannot be compared to computer-aided accuracy achievements in dental prosthetics in such a short period of time.
Using this technology, the following tasks can be performed qualitatively:
• Diagnostics
• Modeling
• Production and installation.Features of the Models
All manufacturers' models provide specific tooling, and the models are all high-quality machines that differ only in operating time. Milling machines easily perform grinding and milling operations applied to various materials such as composite resin cement, zirconium, glass ceramics and others. In addition, the milling machine allows processing even hard materials such as cobalt. The sintering cameras in the devices provide a homogeneous temperature and instantly inform when the process is completed. The camera also has automatic sintering programs. Thanks to its wide viewing angle, the scanner that comes with this system allows scanning entire dental salons with ease. Rotating the scanner 360° allows the tooth structure to be scanned in full detail. The sintering furnace is only suitable for zirconia material, which shrinks and gains the required dimensions during the sintering process. Systems that include the highest speed grinding machine are indispensable for clinics providing dental restoration services. In these models, the grinding machine speed is increased by 60% while maintaining high quality working performance. This enables glass ceramics and feldspar parts to be ground with pinpoint precision that no other device can achieve.
In conclusion, purchasing a CAD/CAM system is a very important decision. It goes without saying that any of the presented systems will make your work more convenient, faster and more precise. However, before making a choice, please consider the following features:
• Reliability of the company
• Price category
• Functionality
• Simplicity of training
• Support services
• Cost of the final product
We also recommend that you consider the purpose of purchasing a CAD/CAM system. Will the system be used in the clinic or laboratory? After analyzing all these special aspects, you will definitely make the right choice.
