Technology in Dentistry

I like to read about of different systems or innovations that exist in dentistry.

Let´s imagine drinking a cup of coffee with our dentist while a computer is fixing our teeth. Now this is possible with the new technology called CAD/CAM. This is an acronym for a computer that helps dentists create dental functions. This technology was used bydesigners, but nowadays it hasbeen incorporated into dentistry. This is very useful for dentistsbecause it turns into a new possibility to do all dental works. The computer does all types of restorations and dental functions. This new advantage in dentistry is a big step for progress in dental technology. 

But, how it functions? Well, the CAD/CAM is a computer in which you can do all type of prostheses by a photo of the mouth in 3D. It´s very easy, all the doctorshave to do is to scan a traditional model obtained from conventional impressions of the preparations. Nowadays people prefer a computer than a person for doingtheir things. This is a new option for people who fear dentists. This technology can be used by dentists and also by people who work in dental laboratories. 

This technology can give people a lot of benefits. The computer can make stronger restorations and more natural teeth. It is going to be easier for the doctor because they will not require traditional impressions. The procedure is done in only one appointment.  The patient only needs once local anesthetic for any necessary tooth preparations. The restoration done by this computer is going to last out more time than others done by a doctor. The procedures that the computer can do are many, for example, dental implants, missing teeth replacement, and also restorations.
