ISO/TC 106/SC 9 - Dental CAD/CAM systems

This document specifies test methods for machinable ceramic blanks used for the fabrication of dental fixed restorations. This document also specifies the contents of the test report.

This document specifies test methods and procedures for assessing the accuracy of a three dimensional numerical description of intra-oral surfaces acquired directly from a patient with a hand-held scanning device. The test methods are not applicable to ultrasonic, radiographic or magnetic resonance imaging methods. NOTE ISO 12836 specifies the test methods for the assessment of accuracy of digitizing devices that use a fixed or a mechanically guided scanning device.

This document specifies terms, synonyms of terms and definitions used in the process chain from initial implant treatment imaging until the placement of the finished prosthesis. This process chain includes different steps from dental CT to CAD/CAM for implant prosthetic restorations. Some aspects of this process chain are also called backward planning.

This document specifies an extensible markup language (XML) format to facilitate the transfer of dental case data and CAD/CAM data between software systems.

ISO/TR 18845:2017 specifies the test methods to evaluate the machining accuracy of computer-aided milling machines as a part of dental CAD/CAM systems, which fabricate dental restorations, e.g. inlays, crowns and bridges.

ISO 18739:2016 specifies terms, synonyms for terms and definitions used in the process chain for CAD/CAM systems in dentistry.

ISO 12836:2015 specifies test methods for the assessment of the accuracy of digitizing devices for computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems for indirect dental restorations. The methods described in ISO 12836:2015 require a digitizing device in which the object is mounted relative to the optical or mechanical-contact system and therefore do not apply to hand-held scanning devices. These test methods are not applicable to digitization by radiographic (X-ray) methods or by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods.

ISO 12836:2012 specifies test methods for the assessment of the accuracy of digitizing devices for computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems for indirect dental restorations.
