title: Indirect resin inlay and onlay restorations: a comprehensive clinical overview.
abstract: Advances in adhesive technology and aesthetic dental materials have permitted clinicians to perform conservative preparation of the dentition for inlay/onlay restorations. The use of adhesive indirect procedures provides numerous advantages (e.g., aesthetics, reinforcement, adequate seal) to conventional restorative techniques. This article describes the indications/contraindications and material properties of aesthetic indirect restorations. It also highlights the preparation, bonding, and finishing procedures utilized to achieve an aesthetic indirect resin restoration and demonstrates the techniques with a series of case presentations.
