摘要

Provided are methods of improving the wear resistance and aesthetic properties of dental articles, as well as dental articles having an abrasion resistant ceramic/polymer hybrid coating thereon. The method for coating a dental article (20) comprises: providing a body comprising a mental substrate (30); priming at least a portion of a surface of the body; depositing a ceramic material on at least a portion of a surface of the body, wherein said depositing forms a ceramic layer (34) bonded directly to the surface: and depositing at least one hardenable composition comprising a polymerizable component on at least a portion of the ceramic layer, wherein depositing at least one hardenable composition forms a polymeric layer (36).
