The dentist will insert a block of ceramic, matching your tooth color, into the milling machine which will then create the full crown, onlay, inlay, or veneer. When the design is complete, it will be transmitted to the milling unit. These images are transposed onto the computer screen, where the dentist will view the tooth from every angle and design the final restoration. If using CEREC ® Bluecam, the dentist will coat the teeth with a contrasting agent before taking images of your teeth. If using CEREC ® Omnicam, the dentist will take several images of the tooth, sending a three-dimensional, colored model to the CEREC ® machine. Depending on your particular case, the dentist will take photos of your affected teeth using one of CEREC’s ® two imaging solutions. The first step in the procedure is preparing the tooth for the restoration. What does a CEREC ® restoration procedure involve? Within minutes, the milling device produces the restoration the dentist designed. A ceramic block that best resembles the existing tooth color is chosen and placed into the unit. Milling device: This unit actually manufactures the custom restoration from the specifications entered into the computer. It is the closest possible thing to holding the tooth in the hands and rotating it.

Three-dimensional CAD software: This software allows the dentist to examine the tooth from every angle.

Three-dimensional images are created of the tooth on the screen, which the dentist uses to design the perfect ceramic restoration. The function of this unit is to photograph the prepared tooth. The CEREC ® system has three major components:Īcquisition device: This device is home to a high-quality camera and a medical grade computer. CAD-CAM means Computer Assisted Design and Computer Assisted Milling. The CEREC ® System is sometimes called a CAD-CAM system. CEREC ® devices are proven to last for over 5 years, but recent research indicates that most CEREC ®-created restorations last for more than 10 years.Īdditional advantages associated with CEREC ® include: Exceptions include patients who have a prior history of breaking ceramic devices and those with a deep bite.
