In modern dentistry, computer-based modeling and the digital manufacture of prosthetic restorations arebecoming increasingly widespread. This rapid adoption is primarily driven by the ability of these technologies to reducethe number of clinical and laboratory stages while enabling the use of advanced materials with high aesthetic qualities andlong-term durability. Any computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) system consists of three core functionalcomponents: a scanning module, a design module, and an automated manufacturing module.The process of creating dental restorations follows several sequential stages. Initially, a digital impression of the toothis obtained and processed to reconstruct the tooth surface on a computer screen. Subsequently, a virtual model of thefuture restoration is designed, after which automated manufacturing is performed. The diversity of CAD/CAM systemsand 3D-printing technologies used in dentistry is determined by three key factors: scanning methods for acquiring threedimensionalmodels of the oral cavity, the variety of prosthetic designs and materials, and differences in clinical andbusiness implementation models. The development of these technologies is closely associated with the transition fromtwo-dimensional visualization to three-dimensional isometric modeling, allowing precise control and management ofthe restoration process in a digital environment. In addition, innovative construction materials combining the aestheticproperties of ceramics with the mechanical reliability of metals play a crucial role in the advancement of digital dentistry.
