Treating caries with prosthetic restorations (inlays and onlays) Print E-mail
Treating caries with prosthetic restorations (inlays and onlays) - the other method of complementing the carietic defects is using special porcelain and composite inlays/onlays. After processing the defect an impression is taken and on base of it a technician prepares a prosthetic appliance in the laboratory. Rebuliding the tooth this way prevents tooth from tension (the lower risk of breaking as well as post-treatment pain and microshunt), the filled areas are shaped more precisely, especially when it comes to tangential teeth. Cemented inlays are tighter than direct composite fillings and that meaningly influences the durability of a filling. Eesthetics of such complementing is very high.
