ABSTRACT : Many centuries ago, the discovery that fire would
eventually transform the clay into ceramics has
led to the enormous improvement in the quality of
life. Specially designed ceramics have been
bought into the field of medicine for the repair
and reconstruction of diseased or damaged parts
of the body. These speciallydesigned ceramics are
termed as bio ceramics. Bio ceramics can be
single crystals, polycrystalline, glass, glass
ceramics and composites. Bio ceramics are
widely used in dentistry as restorative materials,
gold porcelain crowns, glass filled cements and
dentures. This review deals with bio ceramicsused
in operative dentistry and endodontics .
