The CERAC is a CAD/CAM system
or computer assisted design and computer
assisted milling. This type of system is
used in industrial design in the making
and design of precision parts and tools
in all industries including the automotive.
The CERAC has been around since the 1980's,
however, the latest high-tech generation,
the CERAC III, was just released in 2000.
This is the future of exact
precise dentistry without the use of the
lab technician and laboratory, where unfortunately
resolution of the original tooth preparation
is diminished by 2-3 orders of magnitude.
There are no messy alginate impressions
to take and send, as the impression is taken
digitally with a camera. The camera sends
the image to the computer and gives an X,
Y and Z understanding of the tooth, so that
it can be seen in three-dimensional space.
The tooth is then prepared, designed and
milled in-office, by exact computer milling,
while the client waits in-office without
needing a second appointment.
Beautiful, natural, realistic
biocompatible crowns, partial crowns, inlay
and onlay fillings, can all be done within
one short visit. The CERAC ceramics fit
and wear like natural teeth and will last
decades. This is truly a winning modern
system especially good and appropriate for
deep fillings in danger of root canal therapy.
The CERAC material is non-antagonizing and
non-irritating to the pulp floor, minimizing
the chances for root canal therapy.
