Sistema CAD/CAM: uma alternativa em reabilitação oral - revisão de literatura.

Abstract

The CAD/CAM technology is causing a great and important evolution in the odontology field. These acronyms refer to the American terms computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing, which means ―Computer Aided Design (CAD) e Computer Aided Manufacturing. (CAM)‖ in Portuguese, an advanced system that allows the production of prosthesis based in the last generation 3D. One of the main objectives of this technology is the simplification and optimization in the production of prothetic structures, and also the production of structures with a high standard of quality and esthetics, in a personal and planned way with digital precision. Among the CAD/CAM systems to the Odontology, we’re going to emphasize in this piece of work the Cerec®, Procera®, Lava® and Everest®, where the keywords were applied: DENTAL TECHNOLOGY, FIXED PARTIAL DENTURE and ZIRCONIUM. Research articles, review of longitudinal studies and systematic review were used. The work has as main goal to do a literary review about the available CAD/CAM systems in the dentistry market, to understand such systems, their importance and contribution to the modern odontology.
