Abstract

The purpose of this study is to present current dental ceramic materials and processing methods. The clinical indication was emphasized on basis of the material's microstructure and composition. Studies of ceramic characterization were also discussed, as they impact the clinical indication and serve as a parameter for the development of new materials. The novel strategies were mostly found aiming to mimic the natural dental structures, provide mechanical reliability, and develop predictable restorations in terms of adaptation and design.
