Abstract

Computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) resin-produced restorations were approved by a health insurance system in Japan from the year 2014. In this study, we investigated the use of CAD/CAM resin blocks in Japan since 2014, and the clinical use of adhesive systems for CAD/CAM resin-produced restorations in dentistry. Our findings indicated a rise in the clinical application of these products; however, some studies have reported instances of debonding and fracture of the restorations. CAD/CAM resin blocks were implemented in the health insurance system in Japan as an alternative for alloys due to the continuous rise in the prices of gold and palladium. Thus, in order to reduce the number of failures in CAD/CAM resin-produced restorations due to debonding and fracture, the integration of these restorations with the tooth structures is of utmost importance.
