WHAT IS CEREC® ?
CEREC® by Sirona Dental Systems is the world's first and only chairside CAD/CAM restorative device.
Backed by more than 250 clinical studies over the last 20 years, CEREC has provided dental restorative solutions to millions of patients and dentists worldwide. CEREC by Sirona is one of the most advanced products in world dentistry with over 6 million restorations worldwide. Sirona’s CEREC CAD/CAM dental restoration method simultaneously designs and mills, enabling the dentist to prepare perfectly fitted ceramic restorations in one patient visit, with huge savings in time and laboratory costs.
Solid blocks of ceramic material are converted into beautifully fitted inlays, onlays, partial crowns, full anterior and posterior crowns or veneers. The final result is aesthetic and adhesive boding can allow design changes, so healthy tooth material can be saved and devitalisation avoided.
The name CEREC stands for Ceramic Reconstruction. The method was developed by Prof. W. Mörmann and Dr. M. Brandestini in 1980 at the University of Zurich in Switzerland. The first patients had been treated with CEREC inlays in 1985 at the University of Zurich. From this time CEREC has undergone continuous technical and clinical developments. Today it is used worldwide by a growing number of dentists in their practices.
The CEREC method means today:
The CEREC method combines adhesive bonding techniques with rapid production of all-ceramic inlays, onlays, partial crowns, veneers and crowns for the anterior, premolar and molar regions. This results in a unique combination creating biocompatible, non-metallic, natural looking restorations from durable high-quality ceramic materials, in a single treatment session, and without the need of provisional fillings.
