      <abstract>
        <p>Restorative dentistry is crucial for improving oral health and restoring damaged teeth. Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems have revolutionized the field by integrating digital technologies, offering benefits over traditional methods. These systems streamline the restorative workflow, provide accurate restorations with excellent fit and aesthetics, and reduce chairside and laboratory processing times. CAD/CAM applications range from single-tooth restorations to fixed dental prostheses, implant-supported restorations, and orthodontic appliances. The accuracy and precision of CAD/CAM systems are evaluated through various methods, and factors influencing accuracy include scanner type, software algorithms, milling/3D printing technology, and materials used. Strategies to improve accuracy include optimizing scanning techniques and using advanced software algorithms. CAD/CAM systems have significant clinical implications, and their future holds promising advancements in intraoral scanning, CAD software, and CAM technologies. However, challenges such as initial investment, operator skill, and material selection need to be considered.&#13;
