Did you know about the history of dental ceramics

,

But ceramic materials in dentistry have evolved significantly since their inception in the early 20th century… It’s fascinating how advancements in technology have improved not only aesthetics but also the strength of these materials — did you know some can withstand forces over 1200 MPa? I’d love to hear any insights or trivia you might have on this topic.

It’s amazing how far we’ve come since the early 1900s! I remember learning how they used feldspathic porcelain back then. Any thoughts on how 3D printing is changing ceramics today?
