title: Achieving interdental integrity in resin-bonded posterior ceramic restorations.
abstract: Increased physical strength of ceramic materials and increased bond strength now make it feasible to use these materials in the posterior area, and these restorations are aesthetic to the point of being virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. These restorations are more technique-sensitive, and the restrictive anatomical proximities present an additional challenge, requiring meticulous attention to preparation, impression, temporization, fabrication, and cementation procedures. The health of the tissues investing and supporting the teeth has long been accepted as essential. The learning objective of this article is to share the knowledge gained in clinical experience with other clinicians.
