Abstract

Esthetics can be described study of the beautiful, it objectives beauty and elicits pleasure. Esthetic materials
can be described as those that closely mimic the tooth structure. There are large number of aesthetic material
that have become available in the market. The variety of restorative options accessible to clinicians has
changed spectacularly over the period of last 30 years. In 1981, the materials decisions to be made by a
new dentist were very dissimilar than what they are nowadays. A progressively more mystifying array of
potential new materials has now seen a way into the market. The dentist must decide material of choice for
a particular case without relying on the claims the manufacturer promises.
This review article emphasizes on the newly introduced materials such as Ormocers, Cention N and
Zirconomers, and materials which are under research, and may see an introduction into the market in the
near future for e.g. an antibacterial composite and a Glass ionomer cement incorporating bioactive glass,
their advantages over the traditional predecessors and their properties.

Keywords: Esthetic materials, Bioactive composites, Glass inomer incorporating niobium, Zinc based glass ionomer cements, Ormocers, Cention N, Zirconomers.
