Modern material science, in the dental and maxillofacial field, for example, aims to achieve two main objectives:
to design innovative devices able to preserve the viability of the dental pulp structures, at the same time preventing the onset of pulpar alterations caused by chemical-physical stimuli or bacterial noxae;
to prevent the formation of fractures in the material used and/or between the dentine and the filling with new materials capable of “self-healing”.
The ideal restoration material should maintain its structural integrity, even in the long term, and withstand mechanical stresses, wear and tear, and corrosiv
