Abstract:
A broad classification of the various dental restorative materials has been proposed for easy understanding for undergraduate students. A comprehensive search of the literature was conducted for the various dental materials available. The literature search revealed the classifications of individual materials based on their composition, use, and techniques employed. The proposed classification will facilitate effective communication and easy understanding of the various dental restorative materials as a whole.
