By utilising in-office CAD/CAM technology, clinicians are able to design, fabricate and place all-ceramic inlays, onlays, crowns and veneers in a single patient visit. Ceramic restorations produced by this method have demonstrated excellent fit, strength and longevity. Two basic techniques can be used for CAD/CAM restorations:
Root analogue ceramic dental implant in comparison with titanium screw type implant. As technology has improved, so has implant success rate. Conventional titanium dental implants typically have success rates of 90–95% for 10-year follow-up periods, but this is based on questionable definitions of success. [5]
The ceramic particulate reinforcement has led to the choice of more materials for implant applications that include ceramic/ceramic, ceramic/polymer, and ceramic/metal composites. Among these composites ceramic/polymer composites have been found to release toxic elements into the surrounding tissues.
Chrome-cobalt disc with bridges and crowns manufactured using WorkNC Dental CAD/CAM. CAD/CAM dentistry is a field of dentistry and prosthodontics using CAD/CAM (computer-aided-design and computer-aided-manufacturing) to improve the design and creation of dental restorations, [1] [2] especially dental prostheses, including crowns, crown lays, veneers, inlays and onlays, fixed dental prostheses ...
Ceramic (zirconia-based) implants exist in one-piece (combining the screw and the abutment) or two-piece systems - the abutment being either cemented or screwed – and might lower the risk for peri‐implant diseases, but long-term data on success rates is missing. [26]
Zirconia is used in anterior, and posterior fixed bridges, and also on implants. Zirconia is fabricated using the dental CAD/CAM technology. [26] It has high mechanical strength and it can withstand high occlusal forces compared to all-ceramic materials.
In recent years Zirconium (Manufactured by Zirkonzahn [5]) has become a highly researched material and has shown to be one of the best options for the prosthetic teeth in the All on 4 procedure. [6] Implants created from Zirconium have many benefits and are much more durable than your average, run of the mill ceramic or PMMA implants.
Zirconium alloys are corrosion resistant and biocompatible, and therefore can be used for body implants. [6] In one particular application, a Zr-2.5Nb alloy is formed into a knee or hip implant and then oxidized to produce a hard ceramic surface for use in bearing against a polyethylene component.
