INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGYES IN RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY
Abstract
Oral rehabilitation is a crucial aspect of dental medicine, focusing on restoring and enhancing the function, aesthetics, and overall quality of life for patients with missing or compromised teeth. The use of technology in restorative dentistry has significantly advanced the field, offering various options for dental prostheses, including implant-supported caps, micro-supported dentures, fixed partial dentures, and removable dentures. Increasing the performance of restorations was the major objective of these digital techniques. Computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology is utilized for the production of dentures, record bases, radiographic guides, conversion dentures, and verification jigs. This technology has revolutionized the fabrication process, offering precision and efficiency in creating dental prostheses.
