The CEREC System was initially developed in the early 1980s specifically to deliver ceramic restorations by a dentist during a single appointment. The CEREC System (Sirona Dental Systems) is one such digital system that applies CAD/CAM technology for restorative dentistry that has undergone a number of recent innovations. A number of digital systems have been introduced that offer dentists the opportunity to deliver restorative treatment without the need for impressions and stone casts. Computer Assisted Design/Computer Assisted Machining (CAD/CAM) is a technological innovation for dentistry that has significantly affected materials and processes in both the dental laboratory and clinic. Advances in technology continually challenge dentists to re-evaluate their current techniques for patient treatment.
