When prosthodontic materials are used in the mouth, they encounter saliva, gingival crevicular fluid, and water. They must withstand high temperature fluctuations, chewing forces, and abrasion, which can lead to mechanical failures and require costly replacements. Moreover, since these materials closely interact with oral tissues, it is crucial that they are non-toxic and biocompatible to ensure they function effectively without causing harm to the surrounding tissue.
