The choice of restorative material is considered to be one of the most important factors for the success and reliability of any restorative system. Composite resin gained popularity among clinicians due to its ease of handling, excellent esthetic and mechanical properties, and reported ability to reinforce weakened dental structure. (73) However, when a cavity preparation exceeds the recommended limits for the direct application of composite resins, indirect total- or partial-coverage restorations have been indicated.
Ceramic materials are a viable alternative because of superior esthetics, biocompatibility, resistance to wear, and a similar coefficient of thermal expansion as that observed for dental structure. Advantages of ceramics are

The new VITA ENAMIC material combines the properties of ceramic and polymer. It consists of a hybrid structure with two interpenetrating networks of dominating ceramic and a reinforcing composite forming what's called double network hybrid ceramic material. (76) The pores in the structure-sintered ceramic matrix are filled with a polymer material. The mass percentage is 86 wt% and 14 wt% for the inorganic ceramic part and the organic polymer part respectively. …show more content…
The material also show lower hardness compared with traditional veneering porcelains which may better protect the opposing teeth from excessive wear and should enable more rapid machining in CAD/CAM machines. Similar creep response as enamel and low hardness endows the material with lower contact stresses and good stress redistribution ability when used as a dental restorative.

The biggest shortcoming of these archaic appliances was the fact that they were subject to decay in the wearer’s mouth. Thus, installed false teeth would have to be replaced on a regular basis, resulting in a very costly procedure. However, this problem was rectified in 1774 by Duchateau and Dubois de Chemant with their invention of the first full set of dentures that would not rot. This was due to their porcelain composition – a material that was much more conducive to the everyday wear and tear of one’s teeth. Although an incredible improvement, even the porcelain version had its difficulties. Unable to produce anything less than a full set of teeth (the surrounding porcelain was required to keep each tooth in place), patients who were missing only one or two teeth were out of luck, unless they were willing to have the rest of their teeth removed as well. And yet, in 1808, Giuseppangelo Fonzi developed the first individual appliance – a single porcelain tooth that could be held in place by a pin drilled into the jawbone. Finally, in 1845, Claudius Ash, known as the official “inventor of dentures”, produced the porcelain version that is now used today. His contributions included a suction method of adhesion for a full set of dentures, so that no form of attachment could be seen by an onlooker.
These kinds of polymers have both some advantages and disadvantages. Although they are bioactive and biodegradable and provide high comppressive strength, Degradation of such polymers leads to undesired tissue response due to producing acid formation in degradation process. Metallic scaffolds are another method for bone repair and regenaration. They provide high compressive strength and enormous permanent strength. Metallic scaffolds are mainly made of titanium and talium metals. The main disadvantages of metallic scaffolds are not biodegradable and also discharge metal ions. Recent studies in metallic scaffolds mainly focus on biodegradable materials which can be used improve bioactivity of metals such as titanium.
After the treatment and procedure is complete, patients leave with healthier, more beautiful teeth, giving them the confidence to ask someone out on a date or the confidence to smile on an important job interview. Dentistry is and has been for centuries, an important aspect of people’s ...
Denture teeth can be made of acrylic poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) or composite resins. PMMA is a polymer - a material made the from joining of methyl methacrylate monomers. Properties of PMMA include resistance to abrasion, chemical stability and a high boiling point. (Jun Shen et al. 2011). However, weak flexure and impact strength of PMMA are of concern as they account for denture failure. (Bolayir G, Boztug A and Soygun K. 2013). Composite denture teeth are made of a three distinct phases - filler, matrix and coupling agents. Out of the types of composite teeth available, nano-filled composite teeth are preferred. Composite teeth have a PMMA coating around the tooth and a high content of filler particles. This gives them strength, higher resistance to forces than acrylic teeth and provides compete polymerization due to the PMMA coating. (Anusavice, K. J., Phillips, R. W., Shen, C., & Rawls, H. R, 2012). If the interface between the PMMA denture base and PMMA or composite teeth was weak, the denture will not be able to sustain occlusal forces, making the base-teeth interface, an entity of significance.
In recent years the discussion of whether dental amalgam is safe for use in filling caries has been a hot topic. In this project I will give an explanation of what dental amalgam is, mentioning and highlighting its beginnings in dentistry and how it became the most used restorative material to date. I will also be mentioning the reason there is so much controversy surrounding its use, and the basis for these questions. This will include information gathered from research collected by various scientists. Also mentioned will be the different restorative materials that came by due to the dental amalgam controversy.
Throughout the history of dental medicine dentist have searched for the perfect material to aid in the treatment of the most common problem in people’s mouths, cavities. The material would also be useful in fixing chipped and broken teeth. Dentist needed a material that was strong, relatively low costing, easy to apply, durable, and able to limit the growth of bacteria. In the early 19th century in France dentist found their wonder material and that material was amalgam. The dental amalgam is constructed of a mixture of mercury and at least one other metal such as zinc, copper, tin, or silver. The combinations of these metals are the foundation of what gives silver amalgams their strong make up and shiny metallic appearance.

Our analysis revealed that Affinis® had more dimensional stability in comparison to Panasil® and in the Panasil® impression material, the percentage of dimensional change was significant after 168 h. However, dimensional changes in all of the evaluation times were in the American Dental Association (ADA) standard range. Therefore, these materials had acceptable clinical dimensional stability for approximately 168 h. In the current study, impressions were made from stainless steel dies following the ADA specification for impression materials. This provides a protocol that can be easily replicated by others and it is the same as making a clinical
It is an excellent tooth filling material which is used to restore decayed teeth.

Cosmetic dentistry is a specialized field that deals with improving the aesthetics of teeth and the human face. The teeth are an important part of human beauty. Even minor damage to the teeth, such as breakage or loss can drastically alter the overall appearance of the face. This is where cosmetic dentistry comes in to restore beauty. Cosmetic dentistry has become a highly specialized branch due to various advancements in surgical procedures and diagnostic techniques. Several new materials have also been discovered. These materials are very close to the natural enamel and bone from which teeth are made and are virtually indistinguishable. Cosmetic dentistry is an option in conditions such as teeth loss, gaps between teeth, cracked or chipped teeth, cavities and dental

Biomaterials are derived from nature or in the laboratory using various chemical approaches utilizing metallic components for example composite, polymers and ceramics materials. These materials are usually used for a medical application and it consists of part or whole of a living structure or biomedical device which performs as a natural function. These materials are more likely used for a human heart valve and veins or may be bioactive with interactive functionality such as hip implants. Biomaterials are also used in drug delivery every day and also in dental applications surgery .Biomaterials scientists are nowadays paying more and more attention to the progress of inorganic crystallization within a largely organic as expected occurring compounds. These processes typically occur at some temperature and pressure. Remarkably the animated organisms are through which these crystalline form of minerals are capable of consistently producing complexly complex structures. Considerate the processes of living organisms are capable of flexible the growth of crystalline minerals for example silica could lead to insignificant scientific mixture techniques for Nano scale composite materials. The biomaterial word is used for materials that can be used in clinical and biomedical applications. These bio materials are biocompatible in nature. Presently many types...
