Description
CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing) technology is a transformative tool in the dental industry, enhancing patient care and improving workforce experiences. For patients, CAD/CAM technology enables same-day restorations, enhances overall comfort, and delivers precise and accurate dental solutions. For dental professionals, it boosts efficiency, reduces costs, and increases job satisfaction. This case study examines the implementation of CAD/CAM technology at the Naval Medicine Recruit Training Command Great Lakes, highlighting improvements in patient throughput, restoration quality, and satisfaction among both patients and staff. The adoption of CAD/CAM technology in military dental care leads to better health outcomes and a more efficient and satisfying work environment.
