Dental ceramic materials represent an essential
component in modern restorative dentistry, as they offer an
optimal combination of aesthetics, biocompatibility, and
functional performance. These inorganic materials, obtained
through sintering, are used in a wide range of clinical
applications, from veneers and aesthetic crowns to complex
prosthetic restorations on implants. Depending on their
chemical composition, dental ceramics may include feldspar,
leucite, lithium disilicate, zirconium oxide, or alumina, each
with specific indications and characteristics. Although they
provide important advantages such as high translucency,
wear resistance, and chemical stability, fragility and high
costs can represent limitations. Recent research has raised
questions about the potential systemic effects of dental
materials, including their indirect or long-term impact on
neurological health through inflammatory, immunologic, or
neurotoxic pathways. This review aims to provide a detailed
analysis of the types of dental ceramics, their advantages
and disadvantages, and to explore emerging
