        abstract = {Hybrid ceramics and resin-matrix ceramics (RMCs) are innovative materials that combine the mechanical strength, hardness, and thermal stability of traditional ceramics with the flexibility, toughness, and processability of polymers. Over the past decade, these materials have found widespread applications in dentistry, biomedical devices, aerospace engineering, and industrial systems. This review discusses the classification, microstructural design, fabrication techniques, mechanical behaviour, surface modification strategies, computational modelling, and multidisciplinary applications of hybrid ceramics. The article also highlights current limitations and outlines promising avenues for future research, emphasizing the evolving role of these materials in high-performance applications.},
