    • Abstract:
      The article presents dental machines that use computer-aided design (CAD) and computer aided manufacturing (CAM) technology. Information is given on the technology that can cut many time-consuming steps in which the three main components involved are a thin camera device, a computer console and a box where the tooth restoration is milled. Limitations include difficulty in matching front tooth color and texture and a maximum of three tooth crown restorations only.
