About This Course
The plethora of ceramic systems available today for all types of indirect restorations can be confusing and overwhelming for the clinician. Having a better understanding of them is key. The authors use classification systems based on the microstructural components of ceramics and the processing techniques to help illustrate the various properties and usages.
Aims
This course aims to provide learners with knowledge and understanding of the types of ceramics in use in dentistry. An overview of the classifications based on the microstructure of ceramics and their processing techniques will be given.
Objectives
- To review the types of ceramics in use in dentistry.
- To understand the classification of ceramics based on their microstructure and processing techniques.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module you will be able to explain the types of ceramics in use in dentistry and discuss the classifications based on the microstructure of ceramics and their processing techniques.
