About hybrid ceramic blocks
Blocks with a resin-based matrix come in two kinds: a ceramic network infiltrated with polymer, and a resin matrix with dispersed fillers. One review holds that the word hybrid strictly fits only the infiltrated-network kind, though it is used more widely. These blocks are made in the factory under high pressure and high temperature, which improves their properties.
Part ceramic and part polymer, where zirconia is all ceramic. Resin block composites can be used for permanent restorations.
