The PlanScan uses a high-speed swept laser beam combined with a camera to obtain a series of 3D scans of the tooth using the principle of laser triangulation. Static images of the tooth are stitched together to create a single 3D model. Scanners use either a series of static images or a stream of video images to capture the geometry of the tooth preparation.ĬEREC AC with the CEREC Bluecam has a blue light-emitting diode (LED) and camera system, and uses active triangulation to create images of the tooth surface. Some scanning systems require the use of an oxide powder on the tooth to remove optical highlights from the surface of the preparation and to enhance the scan quality. In Craig's Restorative Dental Materials (Fourteenth Edition), 2019 Digital ImpressionsĪfter the tooth preparation is complete and the tissues are retracted to visualize the tooth margins, the tooth is dried and readied for scanning. This is the first in-office zirconia sintering furnace that can sinter preshaded CEREC zirconia material (CEREC Zirconia) in 10 to 15 minutes, as compared to the multiple hours that are generally necessary for sintering laboratory processed zirconia restorations. Single-visit, full-contour, milled zirconia restorations are then further processed by sintering and glazing the restoration in the CEREC SpeedFire sintering furnace. The newest version is a dry grinding and wet milling unit that is the first in-office means by which to dry mill zirconia. The CEREC system is electronically connected to a milling unit. The Omnicam is connected to a chairside computer with the three-dimensional design software and a liquid crystal display (LCD) monitor. 5,6 The Omnicam is the imaging camera of the CEREC AC acquisition unit. 4 The system has evolved through a series of hardware and software innovations and upgrades that culminated with the introduction of the first color-streaming powder-free intraoral camera in 2012, the CEREC Omnicam ( Fig. 2,3 The CEREC 1 unit marked the introduction of the CEREC system in 1985 with the first clinical trials reported in 1987.
Mörmann's vision was to use CAD/CAM technology to deliver esthetic ceramic restorations with improved longevity in a single appointment that avoided the deleterious consequences polymerization shrinkage caused in composite restorations. Werner Mörmann, and an Italian electrical engineer, Marco Brandestini.
The first functioning chairside CAD/CAM prototype was introduced in the 1980s through the collaboration between a Swiss prosthodontist, Dr. Francois Duret conceptualized the first chairside CAD/CAM system in 1973.
