Abstract

With the development of oral scanners and dental CAD/CAM systems, a various prostheses can be manufactured more accurately than before. If equipment such as a dental milling machine and 3D printer are equipped in the hospital, the dentist can produce the desired prosthesis relatively quickly and easily. Digital prosthesis production in the hospital can reduce chair time and the time for model making and delivery compared to the impression taking method. If the dentist actively participates in the prosthesis manufacturing process, it can improve understanding and help the clinical process. If conditions such as CAD software or equipment installation do not allow, communication between the dentist and the laboratory can be improved through the Viewer provided by the company. It should be remembered that the importance of basic treatment procedures such as tooth preparation, accurate margin, and soft tissue management remains the same even when digital prostheses are manufactured.
