[Dedicated composite fillings--inlays].
BACKGROUND
The aim of the study was to evaluate the quality and persistence of esthetics of dedicated inlay by clinical methods.


METHODS
The paper reviews the clinical significance and technique of preparing particular composite inlays before and after the construction of the metallic framework partial denture. On the basis of indications the total of 30 inlays were placed into cavities under relatively dry working conditions. Six, twelve, eighteen and twenty-four months after the placement of filling, control check-up was carried out by Ryge criteria.


RESULTS
After two years marginal discoloration as well as the change of the colour occurred in 3.3% of inlays. There was neither detectable secondary caries, nor the symptoms of pulpal damage. The requirements to be fulfilled concerning the composite materials, in order that they can be implemented for this purpose, were also discussed.


CONCLUSIONS
From the clinical point of view, purpose inlays from Herculite XRV lab C8B in combination with Opti Bond System and composite cement Porcelite Dual Cure showed high functional and esthetic values in the observational period of two years.
