The DCS Precident system is suitable for the dental practice and enables the processing of different materials and dental structures. The surface is acquired precisely and without contact by means of a semiconductor laser. Easy-to-use software is employed for the three-dimensional design of the restorations. An almost fully automatic milling machine efficiently mills the framework. A clinical case is documented. Keywords: DCS Precident system, zirconium oxide restorations, CAD/ CAM technology
