Dental ceramics possesses very good resistance to the compressive stresses however they are very poor under tensile and shear stresses.
Dental ceramics are mainly composed with crystalline minerals and glass matrix.
Crystalline minerals include feldspar quartz and alumina and perhaps kaolin as glass matrix 1 10 11.
Dental porcelain mainly differs from traditional ceramics in terms of firing techniques which make it more suitable for dental restoration.
Dental porcelain has very stable chemical properties and outstanding esthetics which are unlikely to be influenced by time.
Dental ceramics are presented within a simplifying framework allowing for facile understanding of their development composition and indications.
Practical aspects are presented regarding the choice and use.
Congenital deformity resulting in lack of fusion of the soft and or hard palate either partial or complete.
This imparts brittle nature to the ceramics and tend to fracture under tensile.
Dental ceramics exhibit excellent biocompatibility with the oral soft tissues and are also chemically inert in oral cavity.
A ceramic material is an inorganic non metallic often crystalline oxide nitride or carbide material.
Introduction ceramic is defined as product made from non metallic material by firing at a high temperature.
