Digital Dentistry Flashcards
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)
What do we need in order to apply the digital imaging concept to practice? (3)
- intra oral scanner
- designing software
- production unit
A production unit that works via 3D printing is considered:
Additive
A production unit that works via milling is considered:
subtractive
Available digital imaging systems include: (6)
- CEREC Prime Scale, Omnicam, Bluecame (Sirona)
- Tiors, 3 Shape (3D Biocad)
- iTero digital scanner
- E4D Dentist
- Medit
- Lava COS
Requirements of intraoral scanner include: (4)
- easy to use
- accuracy
- software capability and speed
- cost
The use of additive manufacturing to create dental prosthesis such as aligners, dentures, and crowns:
3D printing
Designed to cut crowns, bridges, copings, frameworks, implant abutments and more from materials such ceramics, zirconia, alloys, resins or wax:
Milling machine
CEREC system is used to create:
inlays, onlays, crowns, and bridges
What type of light is used with CEREC? What else is required?
Visible blue light (LED) and powder
What is the imaging technique differences for Cerec omnicam vs. Cerec bluecam?
Omnicam: continuous data acquisition
Blucecam: multiple shots joined together
Which form of cerec 3D scans IN COLOR?
omnicam
Which form of CEREC requires powder?
Bluecam
The following advantages coincide with:
- Powder free
- Easy handling
- Precise 3D image in natural color
CEREC Omnicam
The following advantages coincide with:
- High precision
- Rapid scan in powder coated surfaces
- Easy to use
CEREC Bluecam
What scan procedure does CEREC Primescan utilize?
Dynamic depth scan
What scan procedure does CEREC Omniscan utilize?
Triangulation
T/F: With CAD/CAM we can do single restorations on natural teeth; multi-unit restorations on natural teeth; implant restorations; and removable prosthesis
True
What makes CAD/CAM more cost effective?
60-70% savings in lab bills and reduction in labor
T/F: The only disadvantage to CAD/CAM is the slower production process
False- CAD/CAM has a faster production process
The multilevel quality improvement through digital technology is recognized in: (4)
- workflow & efficiency
- record keeping
- data fidelity
- therapeutics
Posterior single tooth restorations fabricated from intraoral scans by using CAD/CAM technology have acceptable results for: (4)
- shade
- contour
- marginal adaptation
- occlusion
