Abstract: Against the backdrop of rapid advancements in digital technique, chairside CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing) has established an efficient, minimally invasive clinical system for dental restorations that balances aesthetics and function. Currently, CAD/CAM restorative materials offer diverse options. Resin-based ceramics combine excellent machinability, near-natural dentin mechanical properties, and aesthetic advantages. They eliminate the need for additional sintering and glazing, significantly reducing chairside waiting time. However, this material differs from traditional all-ceramic materials in key aspects such as indications and clinical bonding. Furthermore, the lack of unified technical standards hinders its widespread adoption. This paper reviews the current clinical application status based on relevant technical guidelines from the Chinese Stomatological Association, summarizes its advantages and limitations, clarifies indications and precautions, and discusses operational key points and outcomes through case studies. It aims to provide reference for clinicians, promote standardized techniques, and meet patients’ comprehensive treatment needs.
