Advantages and limitations of CAD/CAM systems

Advantages of CAD/CAM systems	Limitations of CAD/CAM systems
No need for traditional impressions when intra-oral scanners are used	High cost
Chairside fabrication of restorations	Need mastering of technology
Fewer visits	Manual veneering is used most of the time
Needs less manual procedures in laboratory
Needs less laboratory time
Easier laboratory procedures
Good marginal accuracy
Suitable for materials like zirconia
