Restoration of canine and incisal guidance with the use of the CAD/CAM technology as an advanced method for high-quality tooth replacement

The authors undertook a comparative analysis of the efficacy of restoration of canine and incisal guidance with the use of metal-ceramic and all-ceramic orthopedic constructions and composite restorations. The estimation was based on the objective criteria that allowed to distinguish between clinically acceptable and unacceptable orthopedic constructions. It was demonstrated that neither the material nor the design of these constructions has a significant influence on the early results of the treatment. However, long-term follow-up observations revealed the advantage of the CAD/ CAM technology.
