Abstract Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology has revolutionized periodontics by enabling precise planning and fabrication of periodontal prosthesis, surgical guides, and restorative components. This review explores how CAD/CAM systems can be integrated into various periodontal procedures to enhance treatment accuracy, efficiency, and patient outcomes. Digital workflows like virtual modeling and 3D imaging enable highly customized periodontal treatments and minimally invasive surgical procedures. CAD/CAM-fabricated guides contribute to improved accuracy in implant placement and bone regeneration procedures, while digitally designed prosthetics offer superior fit and esthetics compared to traditional methods. Despite these advantages, there are still challenges, such as the high initial cost, need for specialized training, and technical limitations of some materials. Digital dentistry developments are further broadening the use of CAD/CAM in periodontics, offering even more integration in diagnosis, treatment planning, and long-term periodontal health maintenance. This review emphasizes how CAD/CAM is helping to improve periodontal care's accuracy and customization.
