Department of Restorative Dentistry, School of Dentistry, University of Alabama, Birmingham.

As the CAD-CAM technique has been expanded to include porcelain facings, of particular interest is adapting the veneer to the prepared surface. In a comparison of the gap dimension of CAD-CAM generated veneers to those produced in the laboratory, no statistically significant differences were detected.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D002516	Ceramics	Products made by baking or firing nonmetallic minerals (clay and similar materials). In making dental restorations or parts of restorations the material is fused porcelain. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed & Boucher's Clinical Dental Terminology, 4th ed)	Ceramic
D003722	Dental Alloys	A mixture of metallic elements or compounds with other metallic or metalloid elements in varying proportions for use in restorative or prosthetic dentistry.	Alloy, Dental,Alloys, Dental,Dental Alloy
D003763	Dental Leakage	The seepage of fluids, debris, and micro-organisms between the walls of a prepared dental cavity and the restoration.	Dental Leakages,Leakage, Dental,Leakages, Dental
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.
