Effects Of Dentifrices On Surface Properties Of Cad - Cam Manufactured Temporary Restorative Materials

Abstract

A wide integration of computer aided design (CAD) and computer aided manufacturing (CAM) in dentistry, an increasingly large number of novel technical and clinical protocols have been introduced for provisional restorations manufacturing in a digital workflow [5]. The CAD-CAM aided monolithic materials are preferred as they reduce the time of manufacturing and decrease the number of appointments [6]. The need for polishing any CAD-CAM manufactured restorative materials is to eliminate the surface defects caused by the machine and to reduce the surface roughness on the external surface of the restorative material [7].
