Digitalization has fundamentally transformed production processes in dental laboratories. Milling and sintering processes, which were previously heavily manual, can now be largely automated. Modern CAD/CAM systems enable consistent, reproducible results while reducing both time and labor requirements.
A key driver of this development is the rising demand for high-quality, aesthetic, and quickly available zirconia restorations. Automated systems allow laboratories to produce more efficiently, shorten turnaround times, and significantly reduce the cost per restoration.
Automation is therefore not just technological progress but a strategic tool for improving the economic performance of modern dental laboratories.
