Any reader of this review, who is well versed in materials science, will be tempted to enter
dentistry to introduce newer and better ceramics to dentistry. As one can comprehend, no
material is ideal in all aspects, to natural structure of teeth. However, mechanical and
biological properties of ceramics have exhibited a significant improvement in the past few
decades. Recent surges in all-ceramic crowns for esthetics and durability is a highlight of
such improvements. Also, with dentistry, frequently gaining new faces are catered by these
ceramic materials. Further scope of research in dental ceramics can be directed to stronger
and osseointegrative ceramic implants, more esthetic and strong crowns and veneers, to
mention a few. Definitely, future is bound to witness a bigger revolution in field of dental
ceramics, with introduction of newer ceramics and nanotechnology for the betterment of
dental restorations on the lines of form, function and esthetics, along with improved
bio compatibility.
