  • Abstract
    The current state of the art for production of dental restorations is reviewed, and DentiCAD, a system being developed by Maryland University and Minnesota University which is capable of producing dental crowns, is described. DentiCAD can produce dental restorations that fit at least as well as those that are cast. Some of the challenges and difficulties that have arisen during development are addressed. Some of the questions that, because of the new technology, can now be addressed and that are presenting new challenges are discussed.
