DIRECT METAL LASER SINTERING (DMLS) is latest technology for manufacturing dental crown and bridges. This system uses Computer Aided Design (CAD) data to fabricate the desired frame by selectively sintering the alloy powder layer by layer. This machine uses special based alloy, which is highly bio-compatible.

CAD-CAM PFM ( full form is Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Milling) is designed and precision milled with CAD/CAM technology . Excellent fit and excellent marginal integrity is great advantage of this technology. A precision fit and consistent quality providing you an excellent alternative in cases where the clinical situation limits the application of All Ceramic or zirconia restorations. Cobalt chromium restorations are milled from a solid monobloc and are both biocompatible. CAD/CAM provides the perfect combination of Strength, Esthetics, Fit and Affordability. CAD-CAM PFM is better than regular PFM. CAD-CAM PFM is a PFM material.

Porcelain fused to metal restoration is more affordable than all ceramic and zirconia restoration. Even though they are not as aesthetic as porcelain crowns they are still a good choice for back teeth restoration. Porcelain fused metal or PFMs as they are commonly referred to, consist of a layer of metal alloy at the base topped by porcelain.
