Özet
Rapidly developing computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technology has brought diversity to prosthetic restorations by expanding existing material options to include material types such as hybrid ceramics.Hybrid ceramics are a combination of resin composites and porcelain.This dual-phase structure combines the positive properties of ceramics and composites.It offers advanced features such as easy workability, superior edge compatibility and fracture resistance, as well as sufficient flexibility and resistance to chewing forces.However, it causes less wear on the opposing tooth than ceramic restorations.The lower hardness allows these blocks to be milled much faster.If any crack occurs, the crack is stopped before it progresses too far with the polymer in its structure.Since their elasticity modules are close to the teeth, they have indications in minimally invasive restorations.It can be processed better than ceramic, thus providing better results in areas where restorations are thinner.It does not require baking after milling.New generation hybrid blocks remain up to date, and studies are being carried out to increase clinical and laboratory success and indication areas.This review has been prepared to present the general characteristics of hybrid ceramics.
