Recent Esthetic Restorations: Reliability and Impact on Antagonists
Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research - Year 2016, Vol 12, Issue 4
Abstract
Dental practitioners have to respond to the patients’ esthetic demands. Newly developed ceramics permit new indications in the oral rehabilitation. Impact on opposing dentition is still to be determined. Peer-reviewed articles published until December 2014 were identified through a Medline (Pubmed and Elsevier). Divers methods are used to measure the wear process of natural or artificial teeth. Stability and reliability of materials are also off concerns. Technics are not always comparable. Results may also be contradictory. Newly developed prosthetic materials are scrutinized. Emphasis on zirconia restorations’ behavior is made.
