Wear of dental ceramics

Based on the development of adhesive dentistry, minimally invasive restorations in ceramics are used as alternativesto restore a tooth. Dental largely applied dentistry field mainly due to their esthetic andmechanical strength. One ceramic properties be well known before its use is wear resistance thatshould compatible with antagonist behavior avoid unwanted performance. Therefore, severalmethods have been performed assess materials considering different conditionspresent complex oral medium. This study aimed compile methods investigate dental ceramicswear and describe mechanisms involved them. Obtaining analyzing data also addressed todiscuss results obtained from methods, clinical analysis future perspectiveson this topic. In conclusion, many methodologies available measure wear. themethods must selected based significance each should follow previously reportedparameters for standardization, allowing literature comparison.
