I recently came across some innovative ceramic materials that boast not only aesthetic qualities but impressive durability, making them ideal for high-stress restorations… It’s fascinating how these advancements can alter the way we approach cases — especially those with patients who grind their teeth. Has anyone else had success with these new materials in their lab?
I’ve been using some of these new ceramics in my lab, and I’ve found that temp bonding can really help during the initial fitting to ensure durability during patient trials. @OP, have you noticed any handling differences with these materials?
I’ve tried some of these ceramics, and I noticed that they handle bruxism cases better than older options. Have you experimented with any specific brands?

I totally get where you’re coming from! These new ceramics really change the game for bruxism cases, but the cost can be a bit steep. I’ve been hesitant to fully switch until I see more evidence on their longevity. Have you had any issues with bonding them, @martinB_76?
These new ceramics are definitely shaking things up, especially for those high-stress restorations. I found that while they’re fantastic for durability, you really have to watch the margin fit during initial adjustments. It drives me nuts when I see cases where it’s not perfect.
