One Visit Dentistry For All Ceramic CAD/CAM Generated Crowns/Bridges Using CEREC OMNICAM

Technology has impacted dentistry in many new and exciting ways. The explosion in new technology has not only changed our lives but made it more virtual. Cutting edge innovations in dental instruments reduce the time taken to work on the dental chair, causing less discomfort and creating satisfying results. One breakthrough instrument called CEREC 3D, allows the dentists to quickly restore damaged teeth in one visit using tooth colored ceramic crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays etc., saving patient time and inconvenience.

Dr. Sanjay Kalra is the first dentist in India to use the CAD/CAM technology in his clinic to fabricate crowns and bridges. This machine has now been upgraded to CEREC OMNICAM with MCXL Milling machine and Sintering chamber.

CEREC OMNICAM uses CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Designing/ Computer Aided Milling) technology, incorporating a camera, computer and milling machine in one instrument. The dentist uses a special camera to take an accurate picture of the tooth. This optical impression is then transferred and displayed on a colored computer screen, where the dentist used CAD technology to design the restoration. Then CAM takes over and automatically creates the restoration with the help of the machine. Finally, the dentist bonds the new restoration to the surface of the old tooth. The whole process takes about one hour.

CEREC OMNICAM can prepare partial crowns, complete crowns, fixed bridge, porcelain inlays, porcelain veneers or laminates to preserve healthy tooth structures.

ADVANTAGES
1. The dentist performs the restoration in a single session.
2. No unpleasant impression material to bite on.
3. No follow up appointments.
4. CEREC OMNICAM uses blocks of ceramic which gives the restoration a natural look making it biocompatible, high-grade, anti-abrasive and plaque-resistant.
5. No need of using a temporary prosthesis as the final prosthesis is inserted directly.
6. It has a long term stability in the oral cavity.

The restorations are extremely, safe, precise and effective.
