Digital Dentistry Flashcards
The use of dental technology or device
that incorporates digital or computer-
controlled components in contrast to
that of mechanical or electrical alone
Digital dentistry
The use of computer programs to create
two- or three-dimensional (2D or 3D)
graphical representations of physical
objects.
CAD: Computer Aided Design
The use of computer software to control
machine tools and related machinery in
the manufacturing of work pieces.
CAM : Computer Aided
Manufacturing /Milling
Why use \_\_\_\_\_\_? •Application of new materials •Better cost effectiveness (some have estimated the savings in lab bills to range from 60%-70%) •Reduction in labor •Faster production process •Precise dimensions •Minimizing wastage of material •Reducing energy consumption • Better quality control

Accessibility to STL Files:
Are not dependent on the manufacturer, can be used with any
software to fabricate the final restoration.
