Introduction. Modern dental ceramics, particularly porcelain, is the primary material for the production of dental prosthetics and veneer materials. Its unique properties, such as aesthetics, durability, and biocompatibility, make it a critical element of dental material science.Aim of the Study. To analyze the composition, properties, and applications of dental porcelain in prosthetic dentistry.Materials and Methods. The study involved a literature review and an analysis of the chemical composition, manufacturing techniques, and thermal processing of porcelain.Results and Discussion. The findings indicate that dental porcelain consists of kaolin, feldspar, quartz, and other additives, providing high transparency, wear resistance, and aesthetic appeal. The study examined firing temperature regimes that influence shrinkage and material shape retention. The key stages of porcelain production and its use in metal-ceramics were detailed. Conclusions. Dental porcelain is an optimal material for dental prosthetics due to its aesthetic and physicochemical properties. Further research is aimed at improving production technologies to minimize shrinkage and enhance mechanical stability.
