Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics is a type of CAD/CAM technology used in dentistry for creating dental restorations like crowns, veneers, and inlays/onlays. It allows dentists to take digital impressions of a patient's teeth, design the restoration on a computer, and then mill it out of a block of ceramic material right in the dental office.

How does Cerec
work?
1.
Scanning
Once the tooth has been
cleaned and shaped
appropriately for the
restoration, a 3D scanner is
utilized to produce an accurate
digital replica of the tooth. This
modern approach eliminates the
need for the old-fashioned and
unpleasant method of using
impressions or molds to create
ceramic restorations.
Using an exact replica of the tooth on a
computer screen, the restoration process is
designed by taking into account the
position and shape of the surrounding teeth
as well as your bite. The objective is to
ensure that the ceramic tooth appears as
natural as possible and blends seamlessly
with your other teeth.
2. Designing
3. Fabrication
After the design process is complete, the
shade for the ceramic will be chosen to
match your teeth, and the porcelain will be
cut to the exact shape using a milling unit.
The use of the latest "Primemill" technology
ensures that this process takes no longer
than 10 minutes.
4. Bonding
Following the completion of the milling
process, adjustments may be made to the
restoration as necessary during a "try-in"
procedure. After this step, the restoration
undergoes preparation and polishing in
readiness for the bonding process. For the
bonding process, a tooth-colored cement is
utilized to securely attach the porcelain to
the tooth structure, creating an ideal seal
and bolstering its strength.
5. Finishing
During the final stage of the Cerec procedure,
the restoration will be carefully examined by a
dental professional to ensure that it fits
precisely in your bite and complements the
surrounding teeth. On average, ceramic
restorations typically take about 90 minutes,
while a crown may require up to two hours to
complete the entire process.
