Dental cermets, or silver cermets, are a type of restorative material dentists use to fill tooth cavities. Silver cermets were created to improve the wear resistance and hardness of another type of filling material, glass ionomer cements, through the addition of silver. While the incorporation of silver achieved this, cermets have poorer aesthetics, appearing metallic rather than white. Cermets also have a similar compressive strength, flexural strength, and solubility as glass ionomer cements, some of the main limiting factors for both materials. Therefore, silver cermets are not a popular choice of restorative material.
