Art meets science: preserving structure and function with Glass Ceramic Onlays.
July 01, 2019
Art meets science: preserving structure and function with Glass Ceramic Onlays.
Aesthetic inlays and onlays are a viable restorative alternative for moderately broken-down posterior teeth. More recent advances in adhesive technology plus the increase in aesthetic material options enable clinicians to use conservative preparations to place restorations that are effectively reinforcing the remaining tooth structures. Although the directly placed resin restoration is the most conservative posterior restoration in contemporary dentistry, the aesthetic inlay and onlay restorative alternative, attempts to minimise the inherent polymerisation shrinkage properties of direct light cured-resins. In this case, a minimally invasive onlay procedure is applied successfully to create a very favourable aesthetic result.

Aesthetic inlays and onlays are a viable restorative alternative for moderately broken-down posterior teeth and an integral means of restoring teeth. More recent advances in adhesive technology plus the increase in aesthetic material options – for example, composite resins, ceramics and hybrid ceramics – enable clinicians to use conservative preparations to place restorations that are effectively reinforcing the remaining tooth structures. Although the directly placed resin restoration is the most conservative posterior restoration in contemporary dentistry, the aesthetic inlay and onlay restorative alternative, attempts to minimise the inherent polymerisation shrinkage properties of direct light-cured resins. Only the thin layer of luting resin is subject to polymerisation shrinkage at restoration placement. In this case, a minimally invasive onlay procedure is applied successfully to create a very favourable aesthetic result.
