Digital Dentistry; It is a system that has become popular recently. It is a method that allows dental treatments, which are generally performed manually, to be supported by a computer system. The advantages are many. For this reason, it has been supported by many dentists recently. Digital Dentistry is expanding day by day. Because as technology increases, keeping up with it helps to go much further in the field of dentistry. Normally, when a dental examination or dental treatment is performed, all procedures are handled with traditional methods. Since Digital Dentistry started to become popular, all procedures are done via computer. Especially in treatment methods such as smile design, the design is made through computer support. After these design processes are completely completed via computer, production is carried out. Most dentists have started using this method.
The question of what Digital Dentistry is is one of the topics that are generally wondered by those who want to consult a dentist with this method. Traditional methods are no longer used in digital dentistry. It is possible to complete the transactions in a much more reliable way via the computer. The margin of error has been reduced to much less. For this reason, dentists started to improve themselves in digital dentistry.
When we look at what Digital Dentistry is, it can actually be defined as using computer technology in addition to the traditional methods that have been used in dentistry for a long time. However, digital dentistry also has many advantages. Thanks to these advantages, people who want to have their teeth fixed want to benefit from this technology. At the same time, dentists are improving themselves in this regard and providing better service.
When we look at the advantages of Digital Dentistry, it is quite remarkable that the procedures are completed in a much shorter time. In this way, extraction procedures are completed faster and people who have their teeth fixed receive dental treatment much more quickly. Thanks to digital dentistry, the measurement process is completed in almost 3-4 minutes. Teeth can be prepared on the same day. In this sense, the treatment is completed on the same day. Normally, dental treatments and measurement procedures are completed in about a week, but thanks to digital dentistry, this period has been reduced to a much shorter time. This causes both dentists and people who have their teeth repaired to get their work done much faster. Both the design phase and the measurement phase have become much more comfortable for patients. At the same time, digital dentistry can be used much more safely by patients who experience a gag reflex or nausea. Since all processes are completed entirely on the computer, the possibility of errors is significantly reduced.
What is Cad? The issue is among the topics that have started to be discussed especially after digital dentistry. It is a method in which tooth design and production is carried out via CAD/CAM computer systems. CAD is an abbreviation for ‘Computer Aided Design’. CAM is the abbreviation of ‘Computer Aided Manufacturing’. When both design and production are combined with computer aid, images are scanned in 3D using small cameras. After the scanning process is completed, prosthesis construction is supported via computer. The design of the prosthesis is also done on the computer with minimum errors. After the design, the blocks are processed using scraper devices specific to this process.
What is glass? The answer to the question is the process of scanning every part of the mouth using a computer and producing the prosthesis. It is a system that has started to progress with technology as it has become very popular lately.
If we look at the question of how to make cad/cam teeth, it would be better to explain it in stages. Cad cam is a treatment performed in a short period of time. Nor will any traditionally used materials be used. The person’s mouth area is examined in detail with an optical camera. All edits and restorations are also completed quickly via computer. In this way, the patient’s quality of life is significantly increased. Cad cam is the most preferred treatment method recently.
Considering the first stage of Digital Dentistry treatment, the tooth to be restored in the mouth must be prepared. Then, an image should be scanned with an optical camera inside the patient’s mouth. These images are saved directly to the device. Thanks to special software suitable for this process, the design of the prosthesis that will be most suitable for the patient is prepared on the computer. The restoration is then made using a special turning device. After all these processes are completed on the computer and production is completed, it is placed in the patient’s mouth. Digital dentistry allows taking an exact three-dimensional measurement of the tooth. Normally, a soft material is placed on the tooth and a mold of this material is taken. Instead of this process, a more detailed picture of the mouth is taken with a special camera and the design is made. This is both an easier and faster procedure in terms of the number of patients. This method, which takes the exact size measurement of the tooth, is applied in just a few minutes. Since the most suitable prosthesis for the tooth is created, it can be applied to patients without any problems.
The fact that it is done quickly and completely on the computer has shown that patients are much more willing to do this. However, many people wonder whether this procedure can be applied in different treatments. Cad/cam dental treatment with Digital Dentistry is preferred not only in denture making but also in many different procedures. Cad cam dental process is also applied in porcelain filling, laminate filling, veneer, prosthesis and implant treatments. Transactions are reduced to a much shorter time. As it is known, implant treatment is one of the treatments that requires a very long time. Thanks to the CAD cam dental process, the duration of these long treatments has been reduced by almost half. This issue is very advantageous for the patient.
With Digital Dentistry, it is also a matter of how technology advances in this field. In dentistry, digital impression taking is done entirely with a computer and camera. In traditional dentistry, to measure the tooth and jaw for procedures such as fillings, crowns or prostheses, dough is placed in metal spoons and pressed against the teeth. This method causes negative effects on patients. It triggers the gag reflex or nausea. Digital dentistry , on the other hand, takes measurements of patients much more easily with a method that completely eliminates these effects. First, the teeth are scanned using an optical camera developed for this method. The scanned images are then transferred to the computer environment in 3D format . Then, the 3D scanning method is used. Cad cam teeth are designed to be completely compatible with the patient. The margin of error in measurement is very high in traditional methods. However, in a computer environment, this margin of error is much reduced. All cases are archived on computer. Thus, in case of any problem, you can go to the dentist again and have the measurements taken.
Digital Dentistry Prices;
Cad cam dental treatment has become quite common in Ankara and other big cities. There are especially many patients who come from out of town just for this procedure. In this sense, our dental center and dentists in Ankara use very advanced technologies. Especially dentists with long-term dentistry experience also support this technology. Digital Dentistry Prices vary depending on the procedures the patient will perform.
