Ceramic dental biomaterials and CAD/CAM technology: state of the art.

Purpose: Ceramics are widely used as indirect restorative materials in dentistry because of their high biocompatibility and pleasing aesthetics. The objective is to review the state of the arts of CAD/CAM all-ceramic biomaterials.

Study Selection: CAD/CAM all-ceramic biomaterials are highlighted and a subsequent literature search was conducted for the relevant subjects using PubMed followed by manual search.

Clinical variants in tooth number and crown form: a report of bilateral double teeth associated with a talon cusp.
