Abstract
Recently, digital technologies have been widely available in dentistry. Especially, CAD/CAM has now become available in the field of dental laboratory technology to fabricate prostheses with glass ceramics and zirconia based fine ceramics. Moreover, the development of oral scanners for digital impression taking has made a series of digital prosthodontics practical, starting as it did from impression taking and moving into model preparation and laboratory work. Digital prosthodontics is expected to attract patients as a result of low intervention, reduction of treating time, improvement of clinical outcome, and reduction also of medical costs.
