Development of a technology for manufacturing nanostructured ceramic CAD/CAM blanks for dentistry

Technical innovation plays a key role in modern life, and it is precisely this innovation that has driven the development of digital technologies in dentistry. In the 1980s, CAD/CAM systems emerged in dental practice. These systems reduced manual workload and offered such qualities as precision, ergonomics, cleanliness, versatility, and high productivity. These systems became extremely popular among doctors and patients, ushering in a new era of dental care. The significant popularity of CAD/CAM technologies in dentistry and their demand served as the basis for the development of a domestic technology for the production of nanostructured ceramic CAD/CAM blanks for dentistry. In the previous phase of the study, the influence of spray drying parameters on the characteristics of the resulting powders was studied, and various powder sintering methods, such as free-flow and spark plasma sintering (SPS), were analyzed to achieve ideal density, mechanical strength, and crack resistance [7]. As part of the current stage of work, it is planned to manufacture experimental samples of CAD/CAM blanks from ceramic composites based on zirconium dioxide.
