title: [Gold partial restorations - quo vadis?].
abstract: In the light of the question if there is still an indication for cast gold partial restorations, it is concluded that adhesive dentistry with composite and porcelain has superseded the gold inlay. However, gold onlays with their periodontium friendly characteristics and longevity are still indicated for patients who do not object to gold visible in the oral cavity.
