Abstract

Ceramics have been used widely used as restorative materials in dentistry because of their chemical stability, excellent mechanical properties, and superior biocompatibility. The utilization of ceramic materials in dentistry has increased with the evolution of new manufacturing processes and innovative materials. However, there are many challenges concerning their performance and design processing. Thus, the control of the manufacturing processes is required in order to achieve the suitable mechanical properties. Additive manufacturing (3D printing) is a very promising technology mainly used for the fabrication of 3D parts, with complex geometries, for biomedical applications. In this paper, the latest research progress on the applications of nanoceramics in dentistry field was reviewed.
