This article explores the history, classifications, and how dental ceramics have been revolutionized to aid clinicians in their selection of ceramic restorations for patients in need.
This is the first part of a six-part series exploring the main ceramic materials used for the fabrication of all-ceramic, indirect restorations to aid clinicians in their selection. We have detailed the history of how dental ceramics were introduced and how they have been revolutionised with the help of improvements within technology and understanding of the material. Dental ceramics can be classified in a few ways. One way is according to their ratio of glass to crystalline content and the other is how it is processed. Having a good in-depth understanding of this will allow clinicians to make the best decision for their patients who require ceramic restorations. This article aims to explore all the above to aid clinicians in making that decision.
