3D CAD/CAM dental crown – automated digital prosthesis in São Paulo

Cerec 3D is a Cad/Cam system for designing and making crowns, different types of aesthetic restorations and dental lenses more quickly and accurately. ImplArt Dental Clinic Brazil has the most up-to-date version of this system, Cerec Primemill. This computerized system can be used for porcelain crowns on remaining roots, or even as a fixed prosthesis on a dental implant.
Dental implants combined with this modern technique for making dental crowns allow patients to be rehabilitated quickly. The Straumann ceramic dental implant is the most modern and allows for metal-free treatment. The Swiss Slactive implant is the fastest healing.

Cerec System: the evolution of dental prostheses

Digital color impression and computerized teeth with the Cerec 3D system in São Paulo. This German technology consists of a color intraoral scanner, processing software and a machining unit that works like a 3D tooth printer.

How does Cerec 3D works?

The Cerec 3D system uses Cad/Cam technology, consisting of a camera, a computer and a machining machine. First, the Cerec 3D system takes digital images of your teeth using a specialized high-precision color camera (intraoral scanner).

The computer then uses these images to design a customized restoration, matching the fit and shape of the surrounding natural teeth.

Finally, the 3D printer produces the restoration or crown using robotic arms that mill a rough block of dental ceramic until it acquires the shape of the project. ImplArt is always striving to keep up to date with the latest technologies in digital dentistry. That’s why it now has the most up-to-date 3D printing version of the Cerec system, the Cerec Primemill milling machine.

The crown is then installed on the dental implant or bonded onto the prepared natural tooth.

What are the advantages of Cerec 3D?

Dental restorations with Cerec 3D are not only convenient, but also healthy. Until recently, dentists had little choice of materials, such as metal-ceramic crowns (with metal), amalgam, and resins.

As well as being dark and presenting aesthetic problems, these materials are time-consuming and inaccurate to make because they depend on manual labor and external prosthetic laboratories. With Cerec 3D, we can use strong ceramic materials to restore teeth with beauty and functionality.

  • There’s no need to remove molds with putty, as it does digital color molding
  • Tooth-colored restorations – porcelain does not contain metals or dark, unsightly materials
  • The materials are highly aesthetic, resistant and biocompatible(such as dental zirconia)
  • Perfect fit of teeth prevents residue build-up
  • In some cases there is no need to use temporary teeth
  • In favorable cases, crowns can be installed in a few hours by Day Clinic ImplArt
  • Less use of anesthesia
  • Fewer visits to the dentist
  • Predicts results before execution

With the Cerec system, it is also possible to make an identical copy of the shape of a prosthesis that the patient is already used to, but which needs to be replaced because it was made with an inferior material or is fractured.

Dental contact lenses: step-by-step treatment

The dental contact lens is a set of extremely thin porcelain veneers (lithium disilicate), designed by a computerized cad/cam system and made by 3D printers.

Dental contact lenses: step-by-step treatment

What are dental contact lenses?

Contact lenses are bonded to the front of the teeth individually and are used to correct certain aesthetic problems, such as misaligned teeth, stained teeth, pigmented teeth, cracked teeth, improperly shaped teeth, unwanted pain, irregular tooth size and correcting the position of the teeth.

They are bonded to the front of the teeth, individually, in order to correct certain aesthetic problems. These are cases of misaligned teeth, stained teeth, pigmented teeth, cracked teeth, improper shape, unwanted color, irregular tooth size, correction of tooth position.

Lenses are not recommended for unhealthy teeth, such as decayed teeth or teeth with periodontal disease. Contact lenses for teeth are capable of revolutionizing the aesthetics of smiles. Today we see many celebrities who have undergone the treatment and have undoubtedly had their smiles transformed.

Do I need dental contact lenses?

Contact lens treatment involves the use of advanced dental technology. It starts with taking a mold of the teeth. The digital impression is taken using an intraoral scanner that captures images of the teeth and gums and creates a three-dimensional model on the computer screen.

Based on these images, the dentist uses software that designs the dental contact lenses with customized shapes and shades for each patient.

Planning

The design can be for a single tooth or more. The approved computerized design is then sent to the digital prosthetics laboratory to make the dental lenses. A block of porcelain is placed in the 3D printer and the milling process begins until the block acquires the shape of the designed dental lenses.

Dental contact lenses are approximately 0.2mm thick. This ultra-thin thickness does not require any or little wear to the tooth surface in order for the lenses to be applied. They therefore differ from porcelain veneers.

Example of a treatment with dental lenses: 1 – Initial situation, 2 – Tooth preparation (wear) and gingivectomy (removal of excess gum), 3 – Temporary lenses, 4 – Installation of definitive porcelain lenses.

Bonding dental contact lenses

Bonding is carried out after the tooth has been prepared, which involves professional cleaning to remove possible plaque and tartar buildup. The lenses are then bonded with cement specifically for dental use, without pain or the need to apply an anesthetic.

It’s a quick treatment and can even be carried out in a Day Clinic. The durability of dental contact lenses is undetermined. Porcelain is a very resistant material and has very similar characteristics to natural teeth.

Its surface is stain-resistant and does not require the patient to be cautious with highly pigmented foods and drinks, such as beet, carrots, wine, coffee, teas, etc.

Gum surgery: what is it for?

Gum plastic surgery is an option for people who are dissatisfied with their smile and also with the shape and size of their gums, mainly due to the lack of gums.

Gingival plastic surgery and tooth reshaping with composite resin

When they are very apparent, they influence the harmony of the smile and the self-esteem of some people. Gingivalaesthetics influences the smile through its relationship with the teeth, color and thickness of the gums. With this procedure it is possible to correct gum deformities by removing excesses and reconstructing areas that have little gum using gum grafts. The surgery is simple, performed under local anesthesia and carried out in the dentist’s office.

How is gum grafting done?

In general, gum tissue is taken from another part of the mouth, such as the roof of the mouth or behind the wisdom teeth. However, today it is also possible to use an artificial gum graft, obtained from pig tissue. After the procedure, the patient is instructed on how to perform oral hygiene for the first few days, as well as the medication they should take (usually antibiotics, anti-inflammatories and painkillers).

They also receive recommendations on diet, especially to avoid eating foods with potential irritant reactions, such as acidic, very salty or spicy foods. The healing period depends on each case, but total internal gum rehabilitation takes place after six months. Many patients resort to this surgery due to gum disharmony, which can be related to excess or lack of gums.

Can the gums grow?

Growth can be caused by the use of medication such as antihypertensive drugs based on alodipine, anticonvulsants based on hydantoin, and fixed braces associated with poor brushing.

Gum recession or retraction is a change in the position of the gums as the root of the tooth becomes longer and more sensitive. This situation can occur due to strong traumatic brushing, malocclusion, when the bite is overloaded on the tooth with recession, bruxism and periodontal disease.

For this type of correction, gingival grafting may be indicated. The tissue used is taken from the mucosa of the roof of the mouth (palate). Surgery is contraindicated for patients with untreated cardiovascular problems, active periodontal disease, blood problems and mouth cancer.
