Il workflow estetico funzionale. Il successo tra tradizione e innovazione

The materials available for prosthetic reconstructions are varied and can be made with traditional methods and/or processed through CAD/CAM systems: apart from metallic materials, feldspathic ceramics or glass ceramics attached or not to zirconia have proven effective in replacing traditional techniques founded on the union between metals and ceramics. Long term durability of bridges or entire dental arches obtained with milling systems stands at above 80% after observation periods exceeding 10 years. However, some problems should be considered: the literature data reveal that the operators' experience and the tooth structure preparation techniques can affect significantly the final result.
