Inlay, Onlay, Veneer Flashcards
Indirect restorations
(3)
- Restoration is fabricated outside of the mouth * indirectly
- Dental impression is taken of the prepared tooth,
then sent to lab or milled in-office - Includes inlays and onlays, crowns, bridges,
and veneers
When margin exceeds 2/3 of the distance between central groove and cusp tip
MUST CAP WEAK CUSPS
When margins end ½ distance between central groove and cusp tip
CONSIDER CAPPING WEAK CUSPS
INLAY
(2)
- indirect restoration that is placed within the cusp tips of a
tooth - offers no protection of the cusp from occlusal forces
Inlays are used for
(2)
*Teeth with minimal caries and strong buccal and lingual cusps
*Acceptable (normal) occlusion
ONLAY
(3)
- indirect restoration that covers one or more cusps, extending
through and beyond the cusp tip to the facial/lingual and proximal
slopes of the covered cusps - incorporates the principles and advantages of both intracoronal
and extracoronal indirect restorations - occlusion in all functional positions is supported by restorative
material rather than tooth structure
Indications for Onlays
(3)
*Large carious lesions or existing defective
restorations
*Cracked Teeth
*Endodontically treated teeth
When should we use an Onlay instead of an Inlay?
(4)
*When the bucco-lingual width of the cavity preparation is
* 1/2 way between central groove and cusp tip - consider
onlaying the cusp
* 2/3 way between central groove and cusp tip - should
onlay the cusp
*Where the cusps are undermined after caries removal
*Where the occlusion of the tooth must be altered
Crown
- indirect restoration that fully covers the occlusal
surface of a tooth and uses the external walls for
retention
Why Do we do Inlays and Onlays ?
(5)
*Preference over amalgam
*Conserve tooth structure
- Compared to full coverage crown
*Esthetics
*Removable Prosthodontic abutment
- Can better control rest seats and guide planes
Disadvantages of Indirect
Restorations
(3)
*Expense
*Requires 2 appointments if sent to a lab
*Impression needed
- either digital or with impression material
Advantages of Indirect
Restorations
(3)
*Strength of materials
*Conservation tooth structure
*Better control of restoration’s contours
Principles to follow
(2)
- No undercuts; passive fit
- No sharp line angles
Advantages of indirect gold
*Strength
* will not fracture
*Wear resistance
* will support contact and occlusion
*Will maintain smooth surface (no tarnish or corrosion)
Better control of contact and contour Especially for large proximal caries where an amalgam would not restore contact and contours
*Potential for greater longevity
*Conserves cementum and periodontal attachment versus restoring with a crown
Contraindications
*Facial or lingual caries or previous restorations
*Crown is better to restore multiple surfaces
*Need to compare the margin length with that of a crown in
some instances
*Patients with a high caries rate
MO Gold Inlay
Divergence Short walls should have a 2° divergence
* Long walls can have a 5-7° divergence
Bevel occlusal
* axial pulpal line angle
* gingival wall
*No sharp line angles
Prep criteria -
Occlusal Internal Form – — mm deep

Inlay Preparation
*Dovetail
* Prevents distal displacement
*NO reverse S
* Prep is more straight and angled
* Gold has strength at edge (amalgam does not)
Inlay Preparation
* Adequate proximal clearance
* — mm
* Smooth proximal walls
* Bevels:
* — mm at occlusal
* — mm at gingival
* — line angles

Axiopulpal
Bur Dimensions
(4)
*Know your bur dimensions
*Both lengths and widths
*Measure with a periodontal probe
*Use the bur as a guide when
preparing the tooth
Clinical procedure
*Occlusal depth is — mm
*Isthmus must be at least — mm wide
* decreases chance of fracture of restorative material
*No undercuts
*Pulpal walls = smooth & flat
*Facial, lingual and gingival margins should clear contacts by at least — mm

Principles for Gold Onlays
*Cover both facial and lingual cusps of
maxillary and mandibular teeth
* Minimum of — mm of gold to cover cusps supporting
occlusion; — mm for cusps not supporting occlusion
* Reverse bevel of — mm on cusps supporting occlusion; — mm on cusps not supporting occlusion

Exception for cuspal coverage –
maxillary tooth
*Exception for esthetics on maxillary teeth
(2)
- Do not cover the facial cusp of maxillary molar or premolar if supported
by strong tooth structure - Modified “esthetic” coverage of facial cusp if weak
Indications
*Esthetics - areas of esthetic importance for the patient
*Large defects or previous restorations
*Wide labiolingual missing tooth structure
*Teeth that require cuspal coverage
*Contours of large restorations are more easily developed in the
lab
*Indirect materials are more durable than direct for replacing
occlusion and contacts
