Abstract
Catering a tooth-colored restoration in a single sitting is the fundamental objective of chairside digital dentistry with computer-aided design/computer-assisted manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology, which became a legitimate reality with the initiation of ceramic reconstruction (CEREC) workflow. CAD/CAM dentistry has evolved through an amalgamation of diverse software and hardware upgrades since its launch to a viable chairside technology that allows pediatric dentists to treat patients in a single visit. Nowadays, CAD/CAM of dental restorations has become an ingrained fabrication process, especially for zirconium restorations. In this report, we have presented three cases to exemplify the clinical use of chairside digital dentistry (i.e., CEREC workflow) for the fabrication of a customized zirconium restoration in a single sitting to restore form, function, and occlusion for grossly decayed and decalcified primary molars, as well as esthetics for primary anterior teeth with utmost comfort of child patients with single-sitting treatment modality.
