Prosthodontics (Dental Prosthetics)
Prosthodontics
is a field of dentistry whereby the dentist evaluates every aspect of
dental care to develop a strong sequencing treatment plan, restorative
treatment and maintenance. This treatment may involve multi-discipline
levels of care, including advanced treatment for complex anatomical
features of the teeth, gums and supporting bone structure, cases
stemming from congenital disorders, cases stemming from
oral/maxillofacial trauma or neglect, and re-treatment of failures
affecting the mouth and smile, maxillofacial (jaw and face)
abnormalities to offer full mouth reconstruction, implantology, and
dental plastic surgical treatment when necessary.
CAD/CAM
Technology: CAD/CAM technology has been used in the manufacturing
industry for many years; in fact, CAD/CAM is an acronym that means
computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing. Today, CAD/CAM
technology is used in dentistry to help dentists and dental lab
technicians create precise shapes and sizes for dental restoration,
including inlays, onlays, crowns, and bridges.
