Abstract

The age of full digital dentistry is a new concept, specific to the latest trends of aesthetics, providing superior innovation power in order to reach this goal. In today’s world, technological advancements are far from being limited to specific fields. Oral diseases affect a large category of people physically and psychologically, influencing how they look chew, speak, integrate into the social life. Dentistry is witnessing phenomenal innovations, transforming people’s smiles and lives in each and every way. Prosthodontic dentistry deals with the science and art of restoring teeth, both functionally and esthetically. The diversity of cases exposes the practitioners to a wide range of clinical situations and treatment solutions. The replacement of lost teeth with prosthetic appliances may sometimes be a problem for the clinicians, due to the esthetic requests. Among the multiple choices of techniques available for a suitable rehabilitation, the CAD/CAM techniques represent an ergonomic and minimal discomfort solution for the patient, representing a revolutionary method of oral rehabilitation. All stages of each dental treatment should benefit from the very latest technology and best products so the final result being characterized by efficiency and durability.
