The CEREC system has progressed mostly through a series of software and hardware upgrades since its first introduction to the greater dental marketplace as the CEREC 1 system. Since then, the materials and techniques have both been studied extensively as they have evolved, with the results being very positive from all sources. The year 2015 marks 30 years of chairside CAD/CAM experience in dental practice. Just like with many other new inventions, there were some questions about the viability of such a new restorative technique, and whether or not it would be accepted by dentists. In September 1985, at the 3D design program at the Zurich Dental School, the first chairside ceramic restoration was placed with the CEREC 1 system by using computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/ CAM) technology.Īt the time, it was a revolutionary concept for restorative dentistry that an industrially made ceramic material could be fabricated chairside by using a milling device with the benefits of a direct restorative treatment.
