CAD/CAM techniques for the conservative and efficient management of tooth wear

Br Dent J. 2019 Nov;227(9):791-796. doi: 10.1038/s41415-019-0889-z.

Abstract

The prevalence of tooth wear has increased significantly in recent decades. Whilst many treatment approaches are available, there is no consensus on the best materials or techniques. Advances in digital workflows have the potential to reduce the biological cost of treatment, improve treatment outcomes and reduce costs. This article describes modern CAD/CAM techniques which preserve tooth tissue and improve efficiency.
