Utilization of ceromer inlays/onlays for replacement of amalgam restorations.
Fiber-reinforced Ceromer technology has been recommended for a variety of restorations, including inlays/onlays, crowns and bridges, and direct restorations. Ideal restorative dental materials must exhibit adequate physical properties and fit, as well as ease and predictability of fabrication and repair. The Ceromer restorative material combines the positive attributes of indirect composite restorations, feldspathic ceramics, and cast-gold restorations. This article reviews the material properties and aesthetic characteristics inherent to Ceromers, as well as the appropriate preparation and adhesive techniques for inlay/onlay restorations.
