The CEREC system (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) is a revolutionary technology in the field of restorative dentistry, offering considerable benefits for both dentists and patients. Here is a detailed description of its main features:
CEREC uses advanced CAD technology to create dental restorations such as crowns, inlays, onlays, and veneers directly at the dentist’s office. This eliminates the need for multiple visits and uncomfortable temporizations.
The process begins with the precise digital capture of the dental impression using an intraoral camera. This 3D optical imaging replaces the unpleasant and often imperfect traditional impression techniques.
Once the digital impression is obtained, the CEREC software allows the dentist to design the restoration directly on a computer screen. The virtual model is then sent to a milling unit that sculpts the restoration from high-quality ceramic, all in record time.
The ceramic materials used by CEREC are known for their exceptional aesthetics and durability. They are designed to perfectly match the color and translucency of natural teeth, providing an optimal aesthetic result.
Thanks to CEREC, patients benefit from personalized, high-quality dental restorations in a single visit. This reduces the time spent at the dental office, minimizes the unpleasant sensations associated with prolonged dental procedures, and eliminates the need for temporary restorations.
By using digital technology, CEREC significantly reduces the risks of errors related to manual impressions and the adjustments necessary with traditional restorations.
In conclusion, guided surgery in dental implantology represents a significant advancement in dental care, offering increased precision, improved safety, and superior aesthetic results for patients requiring dental implants.
