Introduction High-strength All ceramic restorations, with different composition, structure, and processing methods, have been introduced as an alternative to metal ceramic restorations in many applications (1). Due to their translucency and strength, IPS e.max ceramics have become increasingly popular as dental restorative materials (2) .They can be used as a substructure (core) to support the more fragile veneering ceramics in dental crowns (3-5).

These metals are effective in cutting but have limitations that ceramics do not. There are many different types of materials used in the production of ceramic-based cutting tools. The production of ceramics have seen various advancements since its birth, and continues to be more dependable as new technologies

researchers felt that the dating of these locations was correct, since they happen to coincide with an overall decline in Sahul’s megafaunal population (O' Connell and Allen, 2015:74). However, due to discrepancies with dating technology, this same material was later retested and the new dates are closer to 40,000-50,000 BP (O' Connell and Allen, 2015:74; O' Connell and Allen,

Calcium- Phosphate Ceramics (CPC) Calcium phosphate ceramics are a type of ceramics with varying calcium-to-phosphate ratio, the important properties of calcium phosphate biomaterials are their bioresorption and bioactivity. The most widely used calcium phosphate based bioceramics are hydroxyapatite (HAP) and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP). Synthetic Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a calcium phosphate whose stoichiometric formula corresponds to Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 with calcium-to-phosphate ratio is 1.67, it

mention my absent abilities to act, carry a melody, or dance on beat. However, in recent years, I have begun to rethink my characterization, as three years of learning ceramic arts have indeed made me an artist; furthermore, it has also given me reason to believe that I have always been one, despite my ignorance.

Pottery is an ancient form of art created by people as early as 29,000 BC. The Gravettian "Venus" figurines (appendix A) are the earliest discovered ceramic works, dating from 29,000 BC to 25,000 BC (Carr, 2015). Since then ceramics have significantly evolved, and the pots created today can be described as interesting and unique masterpieces. An example of one of these masterpieces is "Sassy Birch" (appendix B), which is a teapot created by Eric Serratella (appendix C). Eric Serritella received primary
