Overview

The possibility of computer-aided manufacturing of dental restorations has revolutionized dentistry in the last decade. In conventional manufacturing, there are several potential sources of error in a process chain, which may have a negative impact on the quality of the end product. In comparison, CAD/CAM manufacturing offers direct entry into the so-called digital workflow. This International Standard specifies terms, synonyms for terms and definitions used in the process chain for CAD/CAM systems in dentistry. The International Standard has been prepared by ISO/TC 106/SC 9/WG 2 "Terminology" (secretariat: DIN) together with CEN/TC 55 "Dentistry" (secretariat: DIN). The responsible committee at DIN is Working Committee NA 014-00-06 AA "CAD/CAM-Systeme" ("CAD/CAM systems") of NADENT.
