The use of digital molding in dental practice – case report

Abstract

The advancement of image digitization technology and the development of milling devices have made it possible to optimize various processes in Dentistry. The use of intraoral scanning and the CAD-CAM system (CAD - Computer Aided Design; CAM - Computer Aided Manufacturing) has improved the performance of prosthetic rehabilitations, allowing the obtaining of high quality parts in a reduced time. The objective of this work is to report a case of rehabilitation of a lower central incisor using intraoral scanning, with an Omnicam scanner (Dentsply Sirona) and application of the CAD-CAM system.

Keywords: Intraoral scanning, CAD-CAM, Dental Prosthesis.
