Clinical statistics show that, the defect and absence of tooth is a common disease with a high morbidity of 24-53% in dental treatment. Thus, it is promising to develop dental restoration materials with favorable mechanical strength and excellent bio-safety. In the past decades, metals and alloys have been widely used in dental restorations. However, with the increasing esthetic requirement from patients and the development of CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing) technique, various all-ceramic materials have been adopted in dental restoration for their aesthetical potential. Among numerous dental ceramics, zirconia based materials possess most promising prospects due to their fascinating aesthetic performance, favorable biocompatibility, and superior mechanical property.  Read more>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The mouth is a mirror of health or disease, a sentinel or early warning system. As the gateway to the body, a constant barrage of invaders like bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi, challenges the mouth. Many systemic diseases have oral manifestations. These lesions develop on the oral mucosa, tongue, gingiva,dentition, periodontium, salivary glands, facial skeleton, extraoral skin and other related structures .Thus oral cavity is an important diagnostic area not just because it contains derivatives of all of the primary germinal layers, and includes tissues not demonstrable anywhere else in the body, but also because of its role played in diagnosing a number of systemic diseases just because of their oral manifestations. In the event that the integrity of the oral tissues is compromised, the mouth can become a source of disease or pathological processes affecting other parts of the body. It can also become a source of contagion by means of contaminated fluids or materials...
