Applicability of CAD/CAM systems in implant prosthesis

Abstract

CAD/CAM technology has been applied in Dentistry, especially in the areas of dental prosthesis and implant dentistry. This study analyzed the advance of CAD/CAM technology in the area of Implant Prosthesis, highlighting its advantages, characteristics and clinical applicability. A review of the literature was made from scientific articles published in the last ten years. The bibliographic search was done through the Medline database (PubMed). It was verified that the CAD/CAM assisted technology is made for the manufacture of implants on mediate and immediate loading implant. As well as in guided implant placement surgeries. This technique promotes greater predictability in treatment, high rates of implant and prosthesis survival, as well as patient satisfaction.
