Abstract:

Polymer-infiltrated ceramic network (PICN) has emerged as a novel dental restoration material, attracting widespread attention due to its unique ceramic–resin dual interpenetrating network structure. This material blends the superior features of ceramics and resins, effectively resisting crack propagation, protecting abutment and opposing teeth, and exhibiting excellent adhesive properties. It has shown promising application potential and clinical outcomes in pros-thodontic treatments of single crowns, inlays, partial crowns, and veneers. This review elaborates on the composition, structure, mechanical properties, adhesive performance, wear resistance, optical characteristics, and clinical manifestations of PICN materials. Furthermore, it anticipates future development trends and application prospects.

Key words: polymer-infiltrated ceramic network, material property, machinable material, computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing
