Abstract
CAD/CAM stands for computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing. CAD/CAM systems are used to speed up the design and production process in dentistry. With three-dimensional design and milling, various restorations can be fabricated without the need for a physical model. It is possible to scan the oral cavity and take digital impressions. The restoration can be designed with the software's help and fabricated in a shorter time without laboratory stages. In addition, the mechanical strength and edge compatibility of the restorations are improved and the fabrication of aesthetic restorations is aimed. CAD/CAM technology offers advantages such as time savings, elimination of potential errors, ease of use, and treatment quality. With the increasing demand for CAD/CAM restorations, various materials have been developed. Nowadays, CAD/CAM materials are widely available on the market and restorations can be produced from prefabricated blocks and discs. In this review, resin matrix CAD/CAM materials, which are relatively new on the market and claimed to have some positive properties for dental restorations, are described.
