METHOD OF MAKING A DENTAL RESTORATION AND SYSTEM THEREFOR

摘要

A method of making a dental restoration comprises steps of transmitting from a scanning device scan data to a central processing unit and receiving on a Computer Numerical Control (CNC) device machine control data for manufacturing a dental restoration from the central processing unit. The machine control data are associated with the scan data. Further the scanning device and the CNC device are at the same first location, whereas the central processing unit is at a different second location remote from the first. The method further comprises steps of providing a dental blank and shaping the dental blank based on the machine control data to provide the dental restoration. The method and a system for performing the method help maximizing the timely efficiency in a restoration of a tooth and helps maximizing the quality of a chairside manufactured dental restoration.
