Expert System for Automatic Dental Prosthetic Design
CAD and CAM that manufacture dental prosthetics have evolved into an important part of dentistry and are increasingly being relied on. Digital process chains are thus replacing part of the complete manual production chain (see illustration). They encompass digitization with a scan of the set of teeth, the modeling of the dental prosthetic on a PC with special CAD software and their automatic production with CAM systems or rapid prototyping.
