All Ceramic Fixed Teeth(CAD-CAM)

Ceramics are widely used as indirect restorative materials in dentistry because of their high biocompatibility and pleasing aesthetics.The objective is to review the state of the arts of CAD/CAM all-ceramic biomaterials.

CAD/CAM all-ceramic biomaterials are highlighted and a subsequent literature search was conducted for the relevant subjects using PubMed followed by manual search.

Developments in CAD/CAM technology have catalyzed researches in all-ceramic biomaterials and their applications. Feldspathic glass ceramic and glass infiltrated ceramic can be fabricated by traditional laboratory methods or CAD/CAM. The advent of polycrystalline ceramics is a direct result of CAD/CAM technology without which the fabrication would not have been possible.
