Powdered material, the binder phase of which mainly consists of a cement-basedsystem, which powdered material has the capacity following saturation with alilquid reacting with the binder phase to hydrate to a chemically bondedceramic material, preferably for dental purposes. According to the inventionthe powdered material has a composition and/or structure suitable for givingthe ceramic material translucence in the hydrated state. The invention alsorelates to the ceramic material produced by hydration of the powdered material.
