Abstract
AbstractThe use of glass‐ceramics in the medical field has grown significantly since the 1980s. With excellent aesthetic properties, semi‐translucency, outstanding mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, wear resistance and great biocompatibility and workability glass‐ceramics is one of the most commonly used materials in restorative dentistry and is widely used in veneers, inlays, onlays, all‐ceramic crowns, and implant abutments. This review provides an overview of the research progress of glass‐ceramics in restorative dentistry, focusing on the classification, performance requirements, toughening mechanisms and their association with clinical performance, as well as the manufacturing and fabrication of glass‐ceramics in restorative dentistry. Finally, the developments and prospects of glass‐ceramics in restorative dentistry are summarized and discussed.
