A dental technician is a member of the dental team who, with a written work order, produces dental appliances such as a removable prothesis, including dentures and orthodontic appliances, and adjunctive services such as denture repairs, and fixed prostheses, such as crowns and bridges.
Dental technicians manipulate gold and other precious metals, dental porcelain and acrylics to custom manufacture dental appliances and indirect restorations that will exactly fit a patient. Dental technology is changing rapidly, with new materials and techniques to work with these materials gaining clinical acceptance.
Such new technologies are CAD/CAM or electroforming.
There is a growing trend today for dental technicians to manufacture restorations which are metal-free, creating cosmetically aesthetic restorations with high strength. (Wikipedia.com)
