title: [Minimal invasive treatment of cuspal fractures of premolars].
abstract: This article describes the cusp-replacing adhesive restoration as a minimally invasive alternative for crowns after cuspal fracture of premolars. To demonstrate the importance of this treatment option for daily practice, the results of an incidence study of cuspal fractures are reported. Subsequently, the development of clinical guidelines and procedures as applied in a clinical study of adhesive cusp-replacing restorations are described.
