This document provides information about class II inlays, including definitions, history, materials, indications, contraindications, advantages, disadvantages, and the tooth preparation and fabrication process. Class II inlays involve the occlusal and proximal surfaces of posterior teeth. Key steps in tooth preparation include creating an occlusal box, proximal boxes, bevels, flares, and tapers for resistance and retention forms. Impressions can be made directly or indirectly using addition or carving techniques with inlay wax. The finished casting is then cemented into the prepared tooth.
