In-Office CAD/CAM Coronal Treatment With Lithium Disilicate Achieved in Efficient, Predicable Manner

Compend Contin Educ Dent. 2023 Jan;44(1):e10-e14.

Abstract

As patient demand for faster, streamlined, and convenient treatments increases, clinicians need to be prepared to provide accurate, esthetic, and predictable restorative solutions that meet these requirements. Among the many options currently available in coronal treatments utilizing a digital workflow, the author's practice has found that the use of a certain lithium-disilicate block in tandem with a self-adhesive resin cement provides such a solution. This case report demonstrates the use of CAD/CAM dentistry with in-office milling to restore a failed No. 14 full-coverage crown.
