BACKGROUND: The in-office application of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) has evolved continually across 25 years, and material enhancements made in conjunction with this evolution have improved the speed and precision with which dentists can place high-quality, esthetic restorations for almost every dental application. METHODS: The authors present an overview of the CEREC Acquisition Center (AC) with Bluecam system (Sirona Dental Systems, Charlotte, N.C.) and available materials. RESULTS: On the basis of the growth of CAD/CAM, the manufacturer has made substantial improvements to all aspects of the CEREC AC system-including hardware, software and materials-during the past 25 years. CONCLUSION: Dentists can create laboratory-grade restorations in their offices with little disturbance to work-flow patterns. This is possible, because of innovations to the system that make CAD/CAM feasible for most dental practices.
