Recent Advancements in Restorative Dentistry : An Overview

Abstract

The important goal in dentistry is to provide best dental care to the patients. Day by day, science is undergoing great revolutions that are leading the humanity towards a new era of dentistry. Nanotechnology is introduced in conventional GIC and resin-modified GIC to improve the mechanical properties of GIC. The development and implementation of composite dental restorative materials rely on a comprehensive understanding of each component of the composite and consideration of methods for changing each component. The need to improve shrinkage properties and wear resistance is obvious for dental composites and a vast number of attempts have been made to accomplish these aims. Based on recent clinical information, it appears that major successes have been achieved in reaching the goal.
