PAREDES BALSECA, Jenny Carolina; GRANDA MACIAS, Luz Amelia; PENALOZA PEREZ, Norma Ximena  e  MIRANDA COELLO, Katherine Cristina. The CAD/CAM system in the fabrication of total dental prostheses. Rev Cubana Invest Bioméd [online]. 2023, vol.42  Epub 30-Jun-2023. ISSN 1561-3011.

The CAD/CAM technique is a system that has facilitated the process of taking total impressions and incorporates intraoral records and appropriate requirements to achieve adequate prosthetic bases, which allows optimal results in the dental clinic, such as time savings and comfort for the specialist and the patient, reasons that lead the dental professional to take the step towards digital dentistry. The objective of the study was to analyze the CAD/CAM system in the fabrication of total dental prostheses. The search was carried out in Google Scholar, Pubmed and Scopus databases, trying to answer the guiding question: What are the most significant aspects for the CAD/CAM system in the manufacture of total dental prostheses? As results, it was possible to interpret that, by obtaining three-dimensional records produced in a scanner, it provides a better adaptation of structures compared to conventional methods, thus inducing esthetics and precision, which are important factors in dentistry. It was concluded that the CAD/CAM system reduces the margin of human error and leads to greater dental success by providing better support for decision making and achieving better esthetic and functional results in the total prostheses of patients.

Palavras-chave : CAD/CAM; total prosthesis; technology; computer-aided design, esthetic and functional results.
