Evolution of Dental Ceramic from the Platinum Foil to CAD-CAM Technologies: Review
Journal Title: International Journal of Dentistry and Oral Science (IJDOS) - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 3
Abstract
New ceramic materials and novel fabrication methods have been developed and introduced in dentistry with the aim to improve the longevity of dental ceramic restorations and to extent their use for more demanding clinical situations like construction of multi units posterior fixed partial dentures (FPDs). Dental ceramics have now reached a stage of development where it is possible to make long-span metal free posterior FPDs. Dentists and dental technicians should have knowledge of advances in dental ceramic materials and fabrication methods available to understand advantages and disadvantages of the restorative systems in order to make an optimal choice in each specific clinical situation.
