Abstract :

Smart materials have been around for many years and they have found wide range of applications. The use of the terms “smart” and “intelligent” is being used recently anyhow these so–called smart materials had been around for many years. Smart behaviour occurs when a material detect some stimulus from its environment and react to it in a useful, reliable, reproducible, and usually reversible manner. A really smart material will use its reaction to the external stimulus to initiate or actuate an active response. These properties have a beneficial application in various fields including dentistry. Shape memory alloys, zirconia, and smartseal are examples of materials exhibiting a smart behavior in dentistry. There is a strong trend in material science to develop and apply these intelligent materials. These materials would potentially allow new and groundeaking dental therapies with a significantly enhanced clinical outcome of treatments.
