Minimally-invasive, full-mouth rehabilitation using an Er,Cr:YSGG laser and CAD/CAM technology.

The use of erbium, chromium: yttrium-scandium-gallium-garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) lasers and CAD/CAM technology in dentistry is becoming more accepted and prevalent. Using these two technologies together, full-mouth dental reconstruction was attempted to evaluate their effectiveness. The authors prepared all remaining maxillary and mandibular teeth without the use of a dental drill or an anesthetic; fabrication and insertion of the 28 all-ceramic CAD/CAM restorations were completed in two appointments. When used appropriately, practitioners can combine Er,Cr:YSGG losers and CAD/CAM technology to deliver a quality permanent restorative product for their patients.
