CAD/CAM Dentist Study Club
An essential piece of technology that all dentists should learn about is CAD/CAM, which stands for computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing. Its technology allows dentists to perform some procedures much quicker than before, such as making restorations like:
- Crowns
- Veneers
- Inlays
- Onlays
- Bridges
The CAD/CAM machinery allows dentists to design and make these restorations from one block of ceramic, which helps them fit more precisely.The study club matches dentists learning this technology to dentists who are using it to treat their patients so that they can get some hands-on experience.
