Cerec Treatment

Full ceramic restorations such as porcelain dental fillings, porcelain crowns, over-the-implant crowns, and laminate veneers (leaf porcelain) are made by the traditional methods, with CAD/CAM technology, such restorations can be measured, and designed, and produced with computer-aided devices.

Cerec Systems

It is a CAD / CAM system used in digital dentistry to design full ceramic restorations in a short period such as a single session and to produce the restoration prepared in a computer program with high-quality materials using a special scraping device.

Advantages

• Does not require long treatment sessions. Depending on the type and number of restorations, 4-5 hours of dental treatment can be done in a shorter time as 30 minutes.
• For the restoration, the impression is taken by taking intra-oral images using a camera, not a dental impression tray making patients more comfortable
•  No need to use temporary restoration. No sensitivity or discomfort.
• Restorations are produced from high-quality porcelain blocks which are healthier and longer lasting.
• Full ceramic restorations match the natural color and form of the tooth.
• The impressions taken by the computer are sensitive at a micro-level and the fit of the restorations is better than the restorations made with the traditional measure.

Procedure

• The dentist cleans the caries or damaged area and shapes the tooth according to the restoration to be made.
• The 3D image of the prepared tooth is taken with the CEREC camera and the data is transferred to the computer.
• The dentist designs the restoration to be scraped from a porcelain block in the computer.
• The computerized restoration is scraped from high-quality full ceramic blocks using a 3D scraper.
• The prepared porcelain restorations are applied on the tooth with special materials after trial.

Like all dental treatments, CEREC restorations are also checked after certain periods.
