Abstract
Since its introduction to the dentistry, the CAD/CAM technology has been used over fifteen years. The application of CAD/CAM started from coping fabrication, expanded to the posterior full crown, and anterior restoration manufacture has also become widespread recently. While the development of machine was rapid, the advance of zirconia block was the fastest. Although some differences exist among individuals, the various natural tooth color can be expressed through the zirconia coloring itself without porcelain build up. And the texture characteristics can be reproduced just by CAD design. In this article, the development history of digital dentistry was summarized.
