The development of sophisticated material for application in dentistry has become a crying need at the present age. Although a significant numbers of materials including metals, ceramic, polymers, composites and now some nanocomposites exist for current and potential applications as dental implants, restoration and filling tooth roots, further rigorous research works are essential to make these promising materials commercially available as well as clinically feasible. However, mechanical properties, biological compatibility and antibacterial properties play vital role in determining the suitability of a particular material to be used. This review focuses on some newly developed potential dental materials in terms of their compatibility issues, sustainability in bacterial attack and mechanical characteristics. In addition, the limitation of the material and further research on it will also be discussed.

Abstract
The development of sophisticated material for application in dentistry has become a crying need at the present age. Although a significant numbers of materials including metals, ceramic, polymers, composites and now some nanocomposites exist for current and potential applications as dental implants, restoration and filling tooth roots, further rigorous research works are essential to make these promising materials commercially available as well as clinically feasible. However, mechanical properties, biological compatibility and antibacterial properties play vital role in determining the suitability of a particular material to be used. This review focuses on some newly developed potential dental materials in terms of their compatibility issues, sustainability in bacterial attack and mechanical characteristics. In addition, the limitation of the material and further research on it will also be discussed.
