Abstract

Digitalne tehnologije revolucionalizirale su stomatološku protetiku i izradu metalnih konstrukcija, pružajući preciznost, brzinu i udobnost pacijentima, kao i doktorima dentalne medicine. Ključna komponenta ovog napretka je CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design / Computer-Aided Manufacturing) tehnologija, koja omogućava digitalno planiranje i izradu metalnih osnovnih konstrukcija krunica, mostova i djelomičnih proteza. Postupak započinje digitalnim skeniranjem pacijentovih usta, kojim se precizno bilježe podatci o zubima i mekim tkivima usne šupljine. Dobiveni podatci koriste se za stvaranje digitalnog modela, pružajući doktorima dentalne medicine potpunu sliku određenog kliničkog slučaja. Kroz CAD softver, moguće je precizno dizajnirati metalne konstrukcije, prilagoditi ih individualnim potrebama pacijenta te osigurati optimalnu funkcionalnost. Nakon dizajniranja u CAD komponenti, postupak se nastavlja uporabom CAM tehnologije. Uređaji za glodanje i 3D printeri koriste digitalne modele za izradu nadomjestaka ili pojedinih komponenti (metalnih konstrukcija). Ovakva digitalna proizvodnja eliminira potrebu za tradicionalnim odljevom i ručnom izradom nadomjestka, čime se smanjuje mogućnost grešaka i povećava brzina izrade. Prednosti digitalnih tehnologija u stomatološkoj protetici su mnogobrojne. Prvo, ubrzavaju proces izrade, što znači da pacijenti kraće čekaju nadomjestak. Također, pružaju iznimnu preciznost i ponovljivost, što smanjuje potrebu za nepotrebnim posjetama i prilagodbama. U konačnici, digitalne tehnologije promijenile su paradigmu stomatološke protetike, transformirajući je u modernu i učinkovitu granu zdravstvene skrbi. Njihova sposobnost za bržu izradu, veću preciznost i individualizaciju terapije čini ih ključnim alatom za doktore dentalne medicine u postizanju vrhunskih rezultata. Sve u svemu, digitalne tehnologije ne samo da transformiraju izradu metalnih konstrukcija u stomatološkoj protetici, već postavljaju i novi standard u pružanju optimalne stomatološke skrbi.

Abstract (english)

Digital technologies have revolutionized prosthodontics of dental medicine and the production of metal structures, providing precision, speed, and comfort to both patients and doctors of dental medicine. The key component of this advancement is CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design / Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology, enabling digital planning and fabrication
of metal structures such as crowns, bridges, and partial removable dentures. The procedure starts with a digital scan of the patient's mouth, which precisely records data of the teeth and soft tissues of the oral cavity. The obtained data are used to create a digital model, providing doctors of dental medicine a comprehensive view of the particular clinical case. Through CAD software, it is possible to precisely design metal structures, adapt them to the individual needs of the patient and ensure optimal functionality. After designing in the CAD component, the process continues using CAM technology. Milling devices and 3D printers use digital models to produce restorations or individual components (metal structures). This digital production eliminates the need for traditional casting and manual processing of a restoration, reduces the risk of errors and increases production speed. The advantages of digital technologies in prosthodontics are numerous. Firstly, they accelerate the manufacturing process, resulting in shorter wait time for patients. Additionally, they offer exceptional precision and reproducibility, reducing the need for unnecessary appointments and adjustments. Finally, digital technologies have changed the paradigm of prosthodontics, transforming it into a modern and efficient branch of healthcare. Their ability to provide faster production, greater precision, and therapy individualization makes them a key tool for doctors of dental medicine in achieving high-quality results. In conclusion, digital technologies have not only revolutionized the production of metal structures in prosthodontics but have also set a new standard for delivering optimal dental care.
