The dental CAD/CAM prosthetics market encompasses all dental restorations that are produced entirely by CAD/CAM technology, whether in a lab or by chairside processes. Traditionally, porcelain restorations were produced by a powder or paste mix which was whipped up by a ceramist in the lab and used to build a restoration. In addition to the movement towards CAD/CAM, porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) restorations were developed. CAD/CAM had been quickly adopted by the U.S. market. Through this technology, a restoration can be designed digitally and generated from a puck, block or disc. About 30% of total CAD/CAM restorations are PFM solutions, although this is expected to decline over the forecast period. Since PFMs integrate both CAD/CAM and traditional methods of production, they will not be considered in this report. The dental CAD/CAM prosthetics market encompasses all dental restorations that are produced entirely by CAD/CAM technology, whether in a lab or by chairside processes. Since PFMs integrate both CAD/CAM and traditional methods of production, they will not be considered in this report. There is an ongoing trend towards monolithic restorations and away from the traditional layering technique. These restorations are less costly for consumers, and laboratories increase throughput while decreasing labor costs.

Abstract
Computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) blocks and pucks are materials that are used for producing prosthetics including crowns, bridges, inlay/onlays and veneers. The blocks are manufactured specifically for use in CAD/CAM milling systems. The number of prosthetics generated per block depends on the prosthesis. Originally, blocks were intended to either produce a single unit or a three-unit bridge. In order to make the most out of the blocks, dental labs began to mill three units out of a three-unit bridge block. As such, a variety of block sizes and even pucks emerged onto the market. Typically, one block is used for one crown unit but this may vary on a case-to-case basis. Larger discs, on the other hand, are capable of generating multiple crowns and bridges per unit.
