Computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) are software that helps dentists to accomplish complex procedures faster, effortlessly, and accurately. The CAD/CAM technology constructs repairs dental veneers, crowns, inlays, onlays, and bridges, from a single block of ceramics making the final product more accurate than conventional fabrication methods. The technological advancement and the upgradation in materials used for dental treatments proved too useful and possible for the CAD/CAM-fabricated restorations. Various materials are available for the restoration manufacturing, including ceramic, metal, composites, and others, which can be easily available with CAD/CAM systems. Some of these systems offer benefits, including user-friendly operations, digital impressions, single-visit treatment, accelerated practice growth, improvement in patient safety, and long-lasting restorations. The CAD/CAM technology provides real-time troubleshooting, which notifies the correction in bit-offs and reduces the remaking of dental fixtures, which is time and cost-effective compared to conventional technology. Moreover, the CAD/CAM technology guarantees complete recovery within a week with reduced side effects among patients compared to the conventional method. The approval of this technology increases the dental services offered by the healthcare professional, which in turn enhances the patient experience. Thus, technological advancement in dental treatment and numerous advantages offered by the advanced technology is propelling the growth of the orthodontic supplies market
