Dentists Use Computer Technology to Create Perfect Crown
December 1, 2003
Dentists are now using software technology to find the perfect fitting crown. First, the dentist prepares the tooth. Then, a digital camera takes a picture. The picture is scanned into a computer and the software can display the picture as a 3D image. The dentist can then manipulate the image to design a new crown. Once the crown is designed, a ceramic block is placed in the machine and the new crown is sculpted.
