digital dentistry Flashcards
What is Digital Dentistry?
The use of dental technology or device
that incorporates digital or computer-
controlled components in contrast to
that of mechanical or electrical alone
CAD
Computer Aided Design
The use of computer programs to create two- or three-dimensional (2D or 3D) graphical representations of physical objects.
CAM :
CAM : Computer Aided Manufacturing /Milling
The use of computer software to control
machine tools and related machinery in
the manufacturing of work pieces.
why use cad/cam
* materials?
* cost?
* labor?
*speed of production process?
* dimensions?
* wastage?
* energy consumption?
* quality control?
*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
longevity of cad/cam restorations
very good long term success
point cloud triangulation
used by cad systems, scans objects and creates points in space that are then connected via triangles to form object
STL files
standard triangulation angle files
still use triangluation to form 3d object, more points used for this will result in a more accurate image
req for digital imaging
camera
software
production unit
cerec bluecam uses what light source
LED blue light
what is req on teeth for cerec bluecam
aluminum powder to reflect blue light
is there articulation wth cerec blue cam
yes onscreen articulation
omnicam vs blue cam imaging technique
omni: continous acquisition
blue: multiple shts joined together
omni vs blue, 3D scan in color?
omni: yes
blue: no
omni vs blue, powder?
omni: no
blue: yes
omni vs blue, areas of use?
omni: single tooth, quad, full mouth
blue: single, quadrant, full is possible
omnicam advantages
no powder
easy use
precise 3d colored image
bluecam advantages
high precision
rapid scan of pwodered surfaces
easy
prime vs omni scan procedure
prime: dynamic depth
omni: triangulation
prime vs omni, powder?
prime: none
omni: none
prime vs omni, scan metal surfaces?
prime: yes
omni: yes, may need powder tho
