These are fast-paced times; changes seem to occuralmost every day. And thatalso applies to dentistry and dental technology, where new methods of treatment and innovative work techniques are constantly being discussed. And where questions such as: “Do I really need this?” “Should I invest here?” and “Will this be a lasting innovation” or “Will it already be replaced by another one tomorrow?” constantly arise. Take for example the computer-aided manufacture of full ceramic restorations. During the past few years, technological quantum leaps have been achieved in this area and high-performance ceramic materials have entered the market. And yet the same old question is still being asked: “Are these systems adequately perfected, practically tested and proven, economically justifiable and future-safe?”

This is the gap that the “CEREC Zeitung” newspaper intends to close. It will provide information for everyone interested in the clinical and technical aspects of modern CAD/CAM technology in dentistry. Materials, techniques and equipment will be introduced, new topics will be discussed and interesting information will be brought into focus – always under the perspective of “What can I do better, faster, more simply or more economically than with my traditional possibilities?”.

Software and hardware specialists and users of CAD/CAM from clinics, practicesand laboratories will use this forum to provide scientificevidence as a basis for your future decisions concerning computer-aided dental restoration systems.
