What does tooth design look like in a CAD/CAM system?

Digital dentistry in Krakow involves intraoral scanning, which is a very convenient solution for patients. The camera creates a three-dimensional image of the oral cavity using a series of photos. This process takes only a few minutes and is very accurate.
