  2. Dental composite - Wikipedia

    Also in the case of ceramic inlays a significantly higher survival rate compared to composite direct fillings can not be detected. [37] In general, a clear superiority of tooth coloured inlays over composite direct fillings could not be established by the review literature (as of 2013). [38] [39] [40]

  3. Dental restoration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_restoration

    Fillings are recommended for small to medium-sized restorations. Inlays and onlays are more expensive indirect restoration alternative to direct fillings. They are supposed to be more durable, but long-term studies did not always detect a significantly lower failure rate of ceramic [21] or composite [22] inlays compared to composite direct ...

    However, this might be only the case for gold. While short-term studies come to inconsistent conclusions, a respectable number of long-term studies detect no significantly lower failure rates of ceramic [4] or composite [5] inlays compared to composite direct fillings. Another study detected an increased survival time of composite resin inlays ...

  5. Dental material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_material

    GIC fillings are a mixture of glass and an organic acid. The cavity preparation of a GIC filling is the same as a composite resin. GICs are chemically set via an acid-base reaction. Upon mixing of the material components, no light cure is needed to harden the material once placed in the cavity preparation.

  6. Dental compomer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_compomer

    Towards the GIC end of the spectrum, there is increasing fluoride release and increasing acid-base content; towards the composite resin end of the spectrum, there is increasing light cure percentage and increased flexural strength. Dental compomers, also known as polyacid-modified resin composite, are used in dentistry as a filling material.

  7. Dental cement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_cement

    Lining for all filling materials (amalgam, composites) Cementation of inlays, onlays, crowns and bridges made of precious metal, non-precious metal as well as metal ceramic and all-ceramic (zirconium oxide, aluminium oxide and lithium disilicate ceramic) Cementation of implant-supported crowns and bridges; Cementation of orthodontic bands

  8. Dental porcelain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_porcelain

    Dental porcelain (also known as dental ceramic) is a dental material used by dental technicians to create biocompatible lifelike dental restorations, such as crowns, bridges, and veneers. Evidence suggests they are an effective material as they are biocompatible , aesthetic , insoluble and have a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale .

  9. Bioceramic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioceramic

    Aluminosilicates are commonly used in dental prostheses, pure or in ceramic-polymer composites. The ceramic-polymer composites are a potential way to fill cavities, replacing amalgams suspected to have toxic effects. The aluminosilicates also have a glassy structure. Unlike artificial teeth in resin, the colour of tooth ceramic remains stable.
