Tooth-colored posterior restorations using Cerec Method (CAD/CAM)-generated ceramic inlays. 1994

Division of Prosthetic and Restorative Sciences, New York University College of Dentistry.

The ability to provide patients with esthetic tooth-colored posterior restorations produced from "factory-standardized" ceramics in a single visit is a unique feature of CAD/CAM technology. Recent improvements in the hardware and computer software of the Siemens CEREC CAD/CAM System have improved its ease of use and the quality of the restoration produced. Attention to tooth preparation requirements and care in the cementing and finishing procedures remain requirements for the production of these restorations.

D003776 Dental Porcelain A type of porcelain used in dental restorations, either jacket crowns or inlays, artificial teeth, or metal-ceramic crowns. It is essentially a mixture of particles of feldspar and quartz, the feldspar melting first and providing a glass matrix for the quartz. Dental porcelain is produced by mixing ceramic powder (a mixture of quartz, kaolin, pigments, opacifiers, a suitable flux, and other substances) with distilled water.
