Smile Escapes

In recent years, 3D-printed polymer-infiltrated ceramic resins, also defined as hybrid composites, have emerged as a promising option for definitive dental restorations. These innovative materials combine the advantages of resin composites and ceramic fillers, offering improved strength, aesthetics and biocompatibility compared with traditional provisional resins.1–4 Unlike conventional composites, hybrid formulations are specifically designed for long-term use. They exhibit superior wear resistance and optical integration. This makes them highly suitable for daily prosthodontic applications.1–4 Moreover, hybrid composites offer better stress absorption, intra-oral reparability, ease of polishing and reduced wear of the opposing teeth than zirconia and lithium disilicate.1–4
