Can conventional restorative techniques still have a place in today's digital dental landscape? In this published study, Dr. Les Kalman and Lina Kalman explore a novel workflow that combines traditional dentine pin-retained restorations (pinlays) with modern digital technologies, including intraoral scanning, CAD/CAM design, digital shade matching, thermography, and zirconia milling. The investigation demonstrates how classic restorative principles can be enhanced through digital dentistry to create conservative, durable, and efficient treatment options. Alien Milling was honored to contribute to this research project and am excited to share the published article with the dental community.
