title: Hybrid materials offer new perspectives.
abstract: Dental materials, especially in restorative dentistry, must not only be cost-effective, they must also meet many other requirements: biocompatibility, durability, excellent shade and light effects, abrasion resistance, hardness, mechanical strength under pressure, chemical resistance, surface density, ease of manufacture, and easy intraoral maintenance.
