during dental education, dental students learn how to examine patients, make diagnosis, plan treatment and perform dental procedures perfectly and efficiently. however, progresses in computer-based technologies including virtual reality (vr) simulators, augmented reality (ar) and computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing (cad/cam) systems have resulted in new modalities for instruction...

Background and Aim: Chairside computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems have become considerably more accurate, reliable, efficient, fast, and prevalent since 1985 when CEREC was introduced. The inceptive restorative material option for chairside CAD/CAM restorations was limited to ceramic blocks. Today, restorative material options have been multiplied and include me...

background: the aim of this study was to determine the microtensile bond strength (μtbs) of ceramic and composite computer aided design‑computer aided manufacturing (cad‑cam) blocks bonded to dentin using different adhesive strategies. materials and methods: in this in vitro study, 30 crowns of sound freshly extracted human molars were sectioned horizontally 3 mm above the cementoenamel junctio...
