The objective of this paper is to inform on the indications, appearance and advantages offered by each category of materials used in CAD / CAM technique for different prosthetic restorations.Modern techniques in restorative dentistry include CAD/CAM systems and materials that can be CAD/CAM processed. It is very important to know the physical-chemical properties and the indications of these materials to translate the patient’s wishes to reality providing the ideal restoration. There are a variety of CAD/CAM materials to choose from, all designed to provide efficient restoration design and production. We can choose from available materiales including glass ceramics, nano ceramics, zirconia, hybrid ceramics, BioHPP, in blocks or disks form. Keywords: CAD/CAM technology, CAD/CAM materials, properties, indications

The development of increasingly advanced information technology can provide many benefits for completing work quickly and accurately. One example that requires the delivery of information quickly and accurately is the field of library, this is in accordance with the function of the library which is the heart of education. Most libraries are still many who adhere to a conventional system, of course this will result in disruption of the continuity of the process of managing books in the library. Therefore, the author takes the theme of this study regarding Library Book Management Information Systems Based on Websites by using the waterfall method on software development as well as methods of observation and literature on data collection. This Information System is the best solution for problem solving in managing library books. With the use of managed computer data technology becomes faster, reducing inefficient time and reducing the occurrence of errors in processing data.

The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate marginal and internal fits of ceramic crowns fabricated with chairside computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems. An experimental model based on ISO 12836:2015 was digitally scanned with different intraoral scanners (Omnicam (CEREC), EZIS PO (DDS), and CS3500 (Carestream)). Ceramic crowns were fabricated using the CAD/CAM process recommended by each system (CEREC, EZIS, and Carestream systems; N = 15). The 3-dimensional (3D) marginal and internal fit of each ceramic crown was measured using a 3D inspection software (Geomagic control X). Differences among the systems and various measurements were evaluated using the Kruskal–Wallis test. Statistically significant differences were validated using pairwise comparisons (α = 0.05). Occlusal gaps in the CEREC, EZIS, and Carestream groups were 113.0, 161.3, and 438.2 µm, respectively (p < 0.001). The axial gaps were 83.4, 78.0, and 107.9 µm, respectively. The marginal gaps were 77.8, 99.3, and 60.6 µm, respectively, and the whole gaps were 85.9, 107.3, and 214.0 µm, respectively. Significant differences were observed with the EZIS system compared with the other two systems in terms of the marginal gap sizes. The CEREC system showed no significant differences among the four measured regions. However, the EZIS and Carestream systems did show a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05). All three systems were judged to be capable of fabricating clinically acceptable prostheses, because the marginal gap, which is the most important factor in the marginal fit of prostheses, was recorded to be below 100 µm in all three systems.

ISO 14649, known as STEP-NC, is new model of data transfer between CAD/CAM systems and CNC machines. In this paper, the modeling based on machining feature is proposed. The machining feature comes from the manufacturing process considering the restriction of machining technology and machining resource. Then the framework for computer aided process planning is presented, where the algorithms of operation planning is studied. The practical example has been provided and results indicate that machining feature based model can integrate with CAPP and STEP-NC seamlessly.

ZrO2(Y2O3)-based ceramics with coloring gradient can facilitate the development of dental prosthesis by the improvement of esthetic properties. In this work, ZrO2 powders with different particle sizes were investigated. White and yellow zirconia powders (TOSOH Corporation-Japan) were characterized by particles size distribution using nanoSight-LM20 analyzer. Furthermore, samples were characterized by X-Ray diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy and relative density. Compacts with two layers, one white and one yellow were uniaxially pressed at 80MPa and sintered at 1530°C-120min. The yellow-powder presented average particles size of 180±66nm, while the white-powder presented particles size of 198±73nm. After sintering, full dense ceramics with tetragonal phase were obtained. The linear shrinkage of the yellow and white-layer was 22.75% and 22.05% respectively. This difference in shrinkage is important in the machining of prostheses in ceramic CAD/CAM systems, because they lead to difficulties in adapting this customized prosthesis in patients.

Abstract This paper discusses the development of a set of algorithms for the automatic nesting of ship/offshore structural plates. The algorithms are developed to take advantage of the peculiarity of most ship/offshore structural plates with the aims of optimising material usage and minimising computer search time. The parts to be nested are first processed by a shape processing routine which employs a simple feature extraction approach to classify the plates according to predefined rules specially adopted for ship/offshore structural shapes. The most appropriate search path for each class of plates is used to obtain the best enclosing rectangle for similar shapes. The search paths are based on heuristics developed to simulate the manual method used by the human operator. Finally, all the plates are laid out on the stock sheet using a “rectangle packing” approach. A computer package, Patnest-Ship was developed to demonstrate the efficiency of the algorithms and very encouraging results are achieved. The input and output files to and from Patnest-Ship are described in DXF format so that it can be integrated with existing CAD/CAM systems. Pre- and post-processors for this package have been implemented on AutoCAD to permit the user to define the plates and interactively improve on the solutions provided by Patnest-Ship, if necessary.
