Abstract
Information and communication technologies have found their application in the healthcare sector, including the frameworks of modern dentistry. CAD/ CAM applicationindentistry is the process by which is attained finished dental restoration through fine milling processof ready ceramic blocks. CAD / CAM is an acronym of english words Computer-Aided-Design(CAD) / Computer-Aided-Manufacture (CAM), respectively dental computer aided design and computer aided manufacture of in lays, on lays, crowns and bridges. CAD/CAM technology essentially allows you to create a two-dimensional and three-dimensional models and their materialization by numerical controlled machines. In order to operate more efficiently, reducecosts, increase user/patient satisfaction and ultimately achieve profits,many dental offices in theworld have their attention focused on implementation of modern IT solutions in everyday practice.In addition to the specialized clinic management software, inventory control, etc., or hardware suchas the use of lasers in cosmetic dentistry or intraoral scanning, recently the importance is given to the application of CAD/CAM technology in the field of prosthetic. After the removal of pathologically altered tooth structure, it is necessary to achieve restoration that will be most similar to the anatomy of a natural tooth. Applying CAD/CAM technology on applicable ceramic blocksit can be obtained very quick, but also very accurate restoration, in the forms of inlays, onlays, bridgesand crowns. The paper presents the advantages of using this technology as well as satisfaction of the patientsand dentists by using systems as: Cercon, Celay, Cerec, Lava, Everest, which represent imperativeofmodern dentistry in creating fixed dentalrestorations.
