From ancient artifacts to modern marvels - A historical journey of Bioceramics in Dentistry

Dentistry has indeed progressed systematically over the centuries, with ongoing innovation driving improvements in patient care, treatment outcomes, and overall oral health. The quest to replace damaged body parts with functional equivalents has been a focus in health sciences. Advances in chemistry, material science, nanotechnology, and bioengineering have led to the development of biomaterials. This review article provides insights into the evolution of bioceramics that are used in the biomedical field as well as in conservative dentistry and endodontics.
