CAD/CAM Prosthesis

Prosthetic technology has evolved significantly over the years, enabling individuals who have lost limbs to lead more independent and fulfilling lives. One of the most groundbreaking advances in this field is the integration of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) technologies. These applications have transformed the process of creating intraoral prosthetic limbs into a process that is both easier and more precise in terms of customization and efficiency.

New Generation Dental Prostheses: CAD/CAM

CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing) technology is an innovative approach to designing and manufacturing dentures in dentistry. This technology enables dental impressions taken with digital scanners to be designed in a computerized environment and then produced with high precision on specialized machines. CAD/CAM prosthesis applications offer faster, more accurate and patient-specific solutions than traditional methods. It also allows for high quality results in terms of aesthetics and provides a more comfortable treatment process for patients.

  • High Sensitivity

    Prostheses produced with CAD/CAM technology offer high precision and perfect fit. Digital design and manufacturing processes increase patient comfort and prosthetic durability.

  • Fast Solution

    CAD/CAM technology enables prostheses to be produced quickly and reliably.

What is CAD/CAM Prosthesis Application?

CAD/CAM Prosthodontics refers to the use of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) technologies in restoring teeth and creating appropriate prostheses. CAD enables the digital modeling and design of prosthetic components based on precise measurements and anatomical data, while CAM facilitates the automated production of these components using various manufacturing techniques such as 3D printing or computer-controlled milling.

  • Precision Production
  • Aesthetic Design

How is CAD/CAM Prosthesis Application Performed?

The CAD/CAM prosthetic process begins with a digital scan of the teeth using specialized 3D scanning equipment. This non-invasive procedure captures detailed three-dimensional data and forms the basis of the prosthetic design. Based on this scan data, we use CAD software to create digital models of the denture shell and components. These digital models can be customized to meet the individual user's personal anatomical features and functional requirements. Once the digital models are complete, we conduct virtual fitting sessions to ensure proper alignment, fit and comfort. In these sessions, we make real-time adjustments to the digital models to ensure good fit and functionality for patients.

Once the design is finalized, we send the digital models to CAM software and generate instructions for 3D printing or computer-controlled automated manufacturing processes. These processes produce precise and consistent prosthetic components using high-quality materials. Once the individual components have been manufactured, we assemble them into the ison prosthetic device. Finally, we finalize the process by making the necessary adjustments to optimize fit and comfort for the patient.

What are the Advantages of CAD/CAM Prosthesis?

CAD/CAM Prosthetics offers several advantages over traditional prosthetic fabrication methods:

CAD/CAM Denture Prices

CAD/CAM denture prices can vary widely depending on factors such as the complexity of the design, the materials used and individual needs. In general, CAD/CAM prosthetic devices tend to be more expensive than traditional prostheses due to the advanced technology and customization involved in their creation. Prices may include additional costs for prosthetic adjustments and follow-up care.
