CEREC - System
CEREC by Sirona Dental Systems is a versatile chairside CAD/CAM system launched in 1986 and now in its fifth generation. The first two generations of CEREC, CEREC and CEREC 2, combined an intraoral scanner and a mill for producing the restorations in a single chairside cart. With the introduction of CEREC 3 in year 2000. The intraoral scanner and mill were split into two separate units which has continued with the fourth generation CEREC 3D and the latest system, the CEREC AC Bluecam.

It’s human nature for many of us to actively resist change, while some have learned to embrace it and indeed actively review everything they do to see if a change for the better c...

My colleagues often ask this question of me, and it is one I too had asked. I enjoy the exploration of new challenges and having just taken up the saxophone, I felt it worthwhile investigating the claims of CEREC® converts?

There has not been a great deal of change in the teaching of the basic principles of operative dentistry but the science of dental materials has changed considerably.
