The medical dental industry is now involved in groundbreaking technologies to make improvements in understanding the human mouth. Through digitizing, dentists are able to enhance the final forms of prosthetic teeth while improving efficiency.

Surface digitization devices can be used in two ways, a laser scanner and two touch-probe scanners. The point-clouds resulting from the digitization of the master dies of prepared teeth yield virtual CAD-Reference-Models of each tooth’s shape.

The final result of prosthetic dental work is affected by multiple factors, such as preparation of the tooth, the impression and production of a dental cast, fabrication of the restoration, chairside adjustment of the restoration, and finally, when the restoration is complete, the material and method used for cementation. By the use of CAD/CAM systems, the automation of the manufacturing process in the dental industry has made strides with the way they handle our mouths.
