The term CAD/CAM is a shortening of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) a.k.a. “a crown in a day.” The CAD/CAM machine creates restorations, which are milled from blocks of white composite resin or porcelain, matching the shade of the restored tooth, and essentially creating a perfect copy of the original dental piece. The resultant restoration can then be adjusted in the patient´s mouth and cured/bonded in place, following acid etching of the underside of the restoration and the topside of the tooth itself. Composite resin materials are then used to fuse the resultant restoration to the tooth, completing the restoration process.
