Great emphasis has been attached to the achievement of productivity and producibility benefits through the application of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technologies. To ensure the achievement of these benefits, it is important that the end user have appropriate software and be able to use it to his advantage. The proper procurement, customization, installation, training, and implementation of software can play a significant role in the effectiveness of CAD/CAM.

Abstract Background Contemporary dentistry is advancing toward computer-aided design/ computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology. But the budding dentists are unaware about the advancement. This survey aims at detecting the level of awareness among the undergraduate students and then correlating those results to modify the future curriculum. Objective The study aims (1) to assess the awareness among the dental undergraduate students and (2) to correlate the level of awareness among the third years, final years, and interns. Sample Selection Study sample consist of 300 students (third year students, final year students, and interns) of A. B. Shetty Memorial Institute of Dental Sciences, Mangalore, Karnataka, India. The information of the survey was collected with the help of a questionnaire. Results More than 70% of the students were aware about the basic functioning of CAD/CAM unit and approximately 74% of the students were unaware about the materials used to fabricate the prosthesis using CAD/CAM technology.

The article represents the information that in the age of digital dentistry, virtual treatment planning is becoming an increasingly important element of dental practice. With new technological advances in computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) of dental restorations, predictable interdisciplinary treatment using a reverse planning approach appears to be beneficial and feasible. It is noted that thanks to achievements in medical imaging and computer programming, 2D axial images can be processed into other reformatted representations (sagittal and coronal) and three-dimensional (3D) virtual models representing the patient’s anatomy. It is shown that telemedicine occupies a special place among modern technologies in dentistry, which is used both for remote consultation and for the successful treatment of patients. Keywords: Virtual assistants , virtual nurses, voice technologies, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, 3D printing, telemedicine.

This clinical report describes a digital process of using a 3-dimensional (3D) virtual patient at an exaggerated smile view for the pre-treatment simulation of the prosthetic outcome. In addition, the virtual patient can be used to assist with the formulation of a prosthetically - driven surgical plan for static computer-aided implant surgery (s-CAIS) and the design of the computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) prostheses.

Abstract At SUNY College at Buffalo, a new course, TEC302, CAD/CAM, computer-aided-design and computer-aided-manufacturing was added to the Industrial Technology (IT) undergraduate curriculum in the fall of 1994. At that time, the technology department had been using the AutoCAD system for design/drafting, and SmartCAM for demonstrating computer-aided-manufacturing. SmartCAM is a sophisticated product that takes a great deal of training to use, does not work directly in AutoCAD, and with only four licenses, was not available to all the students. For these reasons, the author developed a CAM program, VAL-CAM, that works inside AutoCAD, and has most of the aspects of a more sophisticated CAM program, yet is simpler to use, is available to all students, and automatically generates CNC (computer-numerical-control) code suitable for driving the departments’ vertical milling machining center. This paper discusses the development of VAL-CAM, which is written in the AutoLISP language for compatibility with AutoCAD. The dialogue control language (DCL) of AutoCAD was also used for part of the user interface for VALCAM. The algorithms, flow diagrams, pseudo code and actual LISP code for some of the more interesting parts of the program are presented. VAL-CAM is under continuous development, and later sections of the program will be discussed in future papers.
