Classification and research progress of CAD/CAM ceramic materials
Abstract
Currently, the most commonly used dental CAD/CAM restorative systems are ceramic materials, which can be divided into resin-ceramic composites, polycrystalline ceramics and glass ceramics according to the differences in composition. Different types of ceramics have major differences in mechanics and aesthetics and need to be selected according to clinical needs and patient demands. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages, for example, glass ceramics are highly transparent but brittle, polycrystalline ceramics are strong but less transparent, and resin-ceramic composites combine the advantages of glass ceramics and resin materials but are less strong. In this paper, we systematically review the compositional classification, the characteristics of each type of ceramic, and recent research advances to help guide clinical selection of CAD/CAM materials.
