Can CAD/CAM resin blocks be considered as substitute for conventional resins?

The research and development of materials appropriate for CAD/CAM applications are one of the most active fields in dental materials [1]. The saltation evolution of CAD/CAM technology has led to a revolution in the forms of materials now used for many dental applications [2,3]. There are in two categories of materials available to the dentist (chairside): glass-ceramics/ceramic blocks and resin-composite blocks (RCBs) [1].
