This work aims to present a pilot study of a non-destructive dental histo-anatomical analysis technique as well as to push the boundaries of the presently available restorative workflows for the fabrication of highly customized ceramic restorations.
An extracted human maxillary central incisor was subject to a micro computed tomography scan and the acquired data was transferred into a workstation, reconstructed, segmented, evaluated and later imported into a Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing software for the fabrication of a ceramic resin-bonded prosthesis.
The obtained prosthesis presented an encouraging optical behavior and was used clinically as final restoration.
The digitally layered restorative replication of natural tooth morphology presents today as a clear possibility. New clinical and laboratory-fabricated, biologically inspired digital restorative protocols are to be expected in the near future.
The digitally layered restorative replication of natural tooth morphology presents today as a clear possibility. This pilot study may represent a stimulus for future research and applications of digital imaging as well as digital restorative workflows in service of esthetic dentistry.
本研究旨在介绍一种非破坏性的牙科组织解剖分析技术，并推动目前可用于制作高度定制化陶瓷修复体的修复工作流程的发展。
对一颗离体的上颌中切牙进行微计算机断层扫描，获取的数据被传输到工作站进行重建、分割、评估，然后导入计算机辅助设计/计算机辅助制造软件中，用于制作陶瓷树脂粘结修复体。
所获得的修复体呈现出令人鼓舞的光学效果，并在临床上作为最终修复体使用。
数字化分层修复体复制天然牙形态在今天已经成为一种可能。预计在不久的将来会出现新的临床和实验室制作的、受生物启发的数字化修复体协议。
