  • Title: Controlling the occlusion of single restorations with CAD/CAM technology.
    Author: Fasbinder DJ.
    Journal: Compend Contin Educ Dent; 2005 Jun; 26(6A Suppl):439-45; quiz 446. PubMed ID: 16018247.
    Abstract:
    Computer-assisted design, computer-assisted machining (CAD/CAM) technology has received considerable clinical and research interest as a means to fabricate all-ceramic restorations. Laboratory CAD/CAM systems recreate occlusal anatomy and functional contacts using accurately articulated casts to minimize the amount of intraoral occlusal adjustment. CAD/CAM systems designed for the chairside do not use articulated casts, and yet fabricate full-contour restorations in a single appointment. Several design techniques are discussed to illustrate the 3 dimensional capability of the CAD program to plan and control occlusal contacts before milling the final restoration.
