| trends & applications hybrid ceramics Hybrid ceramics in practice A CAD/CAM material for patients with functional disorders Author: Dr Sjoerd Smeekens, Netherlands The treatment of patients with functional dis- orders is a challenge for dentists. The extent to which the VITA ENAMIC hybrid ceramic (VITA Zahnfabrik, Germany) with its dentine-like elasticity may be a suitable material for treating patients with bruxism is described in this article.
