Abstract

Although CAD/CAM technology has been used in dentistry for more than decades, the present CAD/CAM dentistry is still quite inefficient or unesthetic. Zirconia restoration has faced with two contradictory words, 'Efficiency' and 'Esthetics'. One can consider monolithic zirconia restoration to be efficient with CAD/CAM. The monolithic zirconia restoration, however, is rarely esthetic due to the current limitations with zirconia. On the contrary, porcelain build-up is almost indispensible in fabricating esthetic restoration, especially in anterior region. In this article, the current status of monolithic zirconia restoration and clinical cases will be presented.

CAD/CAM이 치과계에 도입된지도 벌써 꽤 많은 시간이 흘렀음에도 불구하고 현재의 CAD/CAM은 여전히 비효율적이거나 또는 비심미적이다. '효율성' 과 '심미성'이란 두 단어는 지르코이나 보철물에 있어서는 양극에 위치하게 된다. 효율적이기 위해 도재소성없이 monolithic한 지르코니아 보철물을 만들다 보면 비심미적인 경우가 대부분이고, 거꾸로 심미적이기 위해 도재소성 과정을 거치다보면 여전히 사람의 손을 타게되는 비효율성을 피할 수 없기 때문이다. 이 글에서는 지르코니아 보철물의 현주소와 이와 관련된 몇가지 증례들을 보여드리고자 한다.
