The word Ceramic originated from the Greek term keramos meaning “potter or pottery”.

Dental ceramics have long been recognized for their similarity to dental enamel. They can be made to closely mimic the shades and textures of the natural tooth. Porcelain provides the practitioner with the clinical ability to restore a patient›s dentition to its original appearance and function. The biocompatibility and user-friendliness of dental ceramics are unmatched in any other restorative material. Demands for more esthetic and metal free restorations as well as soaring metal prices are causes for the increase in all ceramic prosthesis.

This article is an attempt to summarise the many facets of dental ceramics.

Abstract


The word Ceramic originated from the Greek term keramos meaning “potter or pottery”.

Dental ceramics have long been recognized for their similarity to dental enamel. They can be made to closely mimic the shades and textures of the natural tooth. Porcelain provides the practitioner with the clinical ability to restore a patient›s dentition to its original appearance and function. The biocompatibility and user-friendliness of dental ceramics are unmatched in any other restorative material. Demands for more esthetic and metal free restorations as well as soaring metal prices are causes for the increase in all ceramic prosthesis. (10) Over the past two decades, the use of bonded porcelain has expanded exponentially owing to the increasing demand for esthetic restorations and prosthesis. This article is an attempt to summarise the many facets of dental ceramics.
