This product has evolved over the past 17 years and now has a place in most all dental practices.  The old criticism’s of fit and esthetics areno longer an issue.  Cerec I and II were basically inlay and onlay making machines.  The 3D with the just released software upgrade allows you to make beautifil crowns in about an hour.  The contacts and occlusion are near perfect when taken to the mouth.  Depending on your lab fee, it takes about a dozen units a month to cover the lease payment.

If you could hire a lab technician for $2000 a month for five years and pay him $25 for each crown, then at the end of the five years, just pay him $25 a crown, would you?  Number 4 to the right was done by a lab.  Number five is a CEREC unit with polish only.  No stain and glaze and start to finish in under an hour.
