The various types of monomers and polymers and methods of polymerization used in dentistry are discussed, along with brief attention given to new areas of promise for preparing better materials for dental applications. Polymeric materials discussed in this article include impression materials, dentures and denture liners, artificial teeth, crown and bridge materials, mouth protectors, maxillofacial materials, restoratives (filling materials), such as glass‐ionomers or glass polyalkenoates, composites and compomers, adhesives, cements, and sealants. While enormous progress has been made in developing improved materials for meeting oral health needs, it remains clear that there are still many opportunities for development of improved materials for use in dental applications.
