This book contains a brief overview of dental ceramics, its microstructure, properties, and susceptibility to degradation. After the Introduction (Chap. 1), it presents the general context of dental ceramics, addressing special phenomena and properties as a Biomaterial (Chap. 2), without going too much into scientific detail of the physics and chemistry involved. The next chapters present Ceramic Materials for Prosthetic, and Restoration Use (Chap. 3), and For Orthodontic Use (Chap. 4).
