Recently, digital technology has been introduced in dental fields, following by digital dentistry with CAD/CAM system has been developed. Nowadays, there are subtractive manufacturing method and additive manufacturing method in CAD/CAM system. Dental materials used in CAD/CAM system are generally classified into polymers, ceramics, metals, and its composites, and have certain inherent properties, respectively.
In this paper, we would like to provide an overview of the main types and characteristics of dental materials used for subtractive manufacturing and additive manufacturing in CAD/CAM system, and then discuss the future perspectives of them.
