Briefly, how can restorative materials be categorized according to their main purpose?

Restorative materials can be categorized into metal materials, ceramic materials, resin materials and metal-ceramic materials according to their main uses.

1, metal materials:

Metal materials are one of the most commonly used materials in the dental restoration process, metal materials have excellent strength and durability, can be used for the production of crowns, bridges, dentures, etc., commonly used metal materials such as alloys, alloys, silver alloys.

2, ceramic materials:

Ceramic materials is a material with excellent aesthetic and biocompatibility, ceramic materials can be used to make crowns, bridges, porcelain veneers, etc., commonly used ceramic materials are oxidized wrong ceramic all-ceramic materials.

3, resin materials:

Resin material is a material with excellent aesthetics and biocompatibility, resin materials can be used to make dental restoration, cosmetic dentistry, etc., commonly used resin materials are composite resin light-curing resin, etc..

4, metal ceramic material:

Metal ceramic material is a material with the advantages of both metal and ceramic materials, metal ceramic material can be used to make crowns, bridges, etc., commonly used metal ceramic materials are precious metal ceramics, non-precious metal ceramics.

Introduction and characteristics of oral restoration process:

1, the introduction of oral restoration process:

Oral restoration process is based on the theoretical basis of dentistry, physics, chemistry, materials science, metallurgy and aesthetics of the knowledge related to the physiological method of production of prostheses, a variety of restorations and orthodontic appliances, the specialized Technology.

2, oral restoration process characteristics:

(1) oral prosthetics, restorative technology and other areas of cooperative research is closely related: oral restorative technology in certain technologies, such as casting technology, welding technology, etc. is introduced from industry, the requirements of the casting, welding knowledge of all kinds of instruments and materials used, to fully understand the principle of its manufacture.

(2) artistic, skillful, difficult to operate: from the entire scope of the operation of dental restorative technology, not only a wide range, but also requires a high degree of artistry, difficult to operate, and to have a strong skill.

Each restoration made is not only required to be a beautiful work of art, but more difficult to fully adapt to the physiological and functional needs of the oral cavity, truly comfortable and beautiful results.
