Abstract

Dental ceramics have an undeniable position in strengthening the restorative facet of dentistry. Ceramic has a history which can be traced to even prehistoric periods but it was ushered in to the field of dentistry in the 18th century. Afterwards the material has evolved tremendously in its composition, processing and usage. This article is a travel through its evolution based on historic details.
