The application of CAD/CAM crowns in dental health insurance in Japan began in 2014 with the premolars. The Dental Service Problem Committee of Japan Prosthodontic Society had constituted the “clinical guidelines for CAD/CAM crown covered by health insurance 2014” in 2014 and has continued to show the details of the prosthodontic treatment policy for the CAD/CAM crown to the society members on the website and to other dental professionals through seminars related to the revision of dental fees. In response to the expansion of insurance coverage to molars and anterior teeth, the “clinical guidelines for CAD/CAM crown covered by health insurance 2020” was produced again in 2020. This commentary summarizes the outline of the guideline 2020, which has been significantly revised based on the guideline 2014.
