The challenge of dental ceramic degradation necessitates innovative technology, rigorous testing and proactive dental care, demanding collaboration between researchers, dentists and patients to ensure durable and reliable dental restorations.Dental ceramics are a groundbreaking advancement in the field of dentistry, offering not only functional dental restorations but also aesthetically pleasing solutions to patients. 1,2However, the fatigue of dental ceramics remains a persistent challenge for dental practitioners and patients. 2,3This phenomenon, characterized by the gradual degradation of the ceramic's properties over time, demands urgent attention from the dental community.Aging can also affect other biomaterials, such as dental composites and cements. 4,5However, in brittle materials like ceramics, its effect can result in a reduction of the material's properties by over 50% of the original value. 6ental ceramics are often considered an ideal choice for dental restorations due to their natural appearance, biocompatibility and durability. 7They mimic the properties of natural teeth, making them an attractive option for patients seeking long-lasting dental solutions.However, the reality is far more complex.Dental ceramics are subjected to a multitude of challenging conditions within the oral environment.These include fluctuating temperatures, acidic pH levels and intense masticatory forces. 8These factors contribute to the deterioration of ceramic restorations over time, resulting in cracks, chipping, and, in severe cases, bulk failure. 9,10eterioration of dental ceramics compromises the structural integrity of the restoration, jeopardizing patients' oral health and placing a financial burden on both patients and the healthcare system.Addressing this issue requires a multifaceted approach that combines innovative research, advanced material engineering and enhanced clinical practices to repair and improve aged restorations. 11entists and researchers must collaborate to develop ceramics with improved mechanical properties and enhanced resistance to crack propagation.Incorporating nanoparticles, adjusting material composition and implementing new designs are promising innovations in nanotechnology for creating dental ceramics that can withstand the challenges of the oral environment for extended
