Abstract:

Polymer-infiltrated-ceramic-network (PICN) composite is a new type of dental restorative material with an interpenetrating network of resin and ceramic phases. It has excellent natural tooth biomimetic properties and good machinability, making it suitable for rapid tooth repair and restoration through chairside computer-aided design/manufactu-ring. Thus, PICN composite has become a hotspot of research and application. Their comprehensive properties (including mechanical and aesthetic properties) can be controlled through appropriate component design, optimized preparation, and surface modification. This work performs a comprehensive review of the research progress on the fabrication of PICN composites, focusing on the state-of-the-art fabrication of porous ceramics, resin infiltration, and curing and providing a fresh perspective on the future development and research emphasis in this field.

Key words: dental material, polymer-infiltrated-ceramic-network, fabrication, mechanical property, aesthetic pro-perty
