Developing form, function, and natural aesthetics with laboratory-processed composite resin--part II.
Although the literature has provided clinicians with some awareness of restorative material alternatives, such as laboratory-processed composite resin, these systems are not yet fully understood and implemented in daily practice, despite their benefits to dental patients. Whereas part I highlights treatment planning, preparation design, and impression making for an indirect resin onlay, this article emphasizes the laboratory fabrication as well as the involved adhesive bonding and finishing protocols. Additionally, it presents considerations for the selection of either indirect resin- or porcelain-based materials.


OBJECTIVE
This article emphasizes the laboratory fabrication and adhesive bonding and finishing protocols. Upon reading this article, the reader should: * Gain an understanding of the development of a posterior onlay fabricated of an indirect composite resin system. * Define the factors for selection of restorative materials for intracoronal restorations (porcelain and processed composite resin).
