Abstract
There is a wide choice of materials available for restorative dentistry covering a range of requirements. Fundamental knowledge about the properties of the polymers in use in dentistry is an advantage as it provides information relevant to clinical practice. Dentistry, perhaps, has the unique distinction of using the widest variety of materials, ranging from polymers, metal and metal alloys, ceramics, inorganic salts and composite materials. In the present paper, polymers and polymer composites used directly or indirectly for restorations, prostheses or for production of appliances in dentistry is discussed.
