Computer graphic of a tooth ready for dental inlay
Dental inlay preparation. (Image 1 of 3). Computer graphic of a tooth with a cavity cut into it in preparation for a dental inlay. The graphic is from an oral camera used to determine the exact dimensions of the cavity. This data is then fed into a miniature milling machine which cuts a perfectly fitting inlay from a ceramic block. Inlays are used to replace badly decayed areas of tooth. To view the dental inlay being cut see image M782/146, while to view a magnified image of the finished inlay see image M782/147

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer graphic of a tooth that is meticulously prepared for a dental inlay. The image reveals the intricate process involved in creating an inlay to replace badly decayed areas of the tooth. Using an oral camera, the exact dimensions of the cavity are determined and recorded as data. This data is then fed into a miniature milling machine, which skillfully cuts a perfectly fitting inlay from a ceramic block. The graphic not only highlights the advanced technology employed in dentistry but also emphasizes the importance of precision and accuracy when it comes to oral health care. With this innovative approach, dentists can provide patients with custom-made solutions that seamlessly blend with their natural teeth. The photograph offers viewers an insight into how computer-aided design (CAD) revolutionizes modern dentistry by combining artistry and science. It serves as a reminder that advancements like these continually enhance medical practices, ensuring better outcomes for patients. Science Photo Library's striking visual representation captures both the complexity and beauty within this dental procedure, showcasing how technology plays an integral role in transforming smiles and improving overall oral health.
