About This Item
TS EN ISO 18739 is a vocabulary standard for the terms used in the process chain of CAD/CAM systems in dentistry. Its main purpose is to provide a shared and consistent terminology for the digital design-and-manufacturing workflow, so that clinical, laboratory, and software-related users interpret the same concepts in the same way.
How the digital dentistry workflow is framed
In dentistry, the CAD/CAM process chain typically spans the acquisition of oral or model data, digital design of the restoration, transfer to manufacturing, and the preparation and use of the finished component. A terminology standard of this kind clarifies the names of these stages and reduces ambiguity in the language used for equipment, software, and clinical workflows. In general technical terms, it supports communication across scanning, modelling, data processing, fabrication planning, and output, rather than prescribing one specific device or production route.
What this document covers
According to its scope, the document defines terms and definitions used in the process chain for dentistry CAD/CAM systems. It also points readers to Annex A for a flow chart of that process chain. That means the standard treats terminology as part of a connected workflow, not as isolated words. In broader technical context, CAD/CAM vocabulary helps link digital impressions, design files, manufacturing data, and restorative applications within a single operational language.
- Establishes a common vocabulary for clinical and laboratory communication.
- Names the stages in a CAD/CAM workflow.
- Organises concepts used in digital restorative dentistry.
- Includes a process-chain flow chart reference in Annex A.
