2.  Inlay – indirect restoration; occlusal surface
excluding cusps
 Onlay – indirect restoration; occlusal surface
plus cusp(s)

3.  Crown – usually covers the clinical crown of the
natural tooth
 Can create “¾ crowns”
 Bridge – replaces missing tooth/teeth
 Abutment vs. Pontic
 Cantilever, Maryland

4.  Cantilever Bridge
 Maryland Bridge

5.  Dental Ceramics – Porcelains
 Composites
 Metals

6.  Crowns (Anterior – “jackets”)
 Veneers
 Fused to metal for crowns & bridges
 Denture teeth
 Inlays & Onlays
 All-porcelain crowns & bridges (without metal
substructure)

8.  Intended for very large Class I or II restorations
 Applied directly or indirectly
 Reduces concern of polymerization shrinkage and
marginal leakage
 Composite restoration fully cured outside of mouth
 Similar to direct composite materials

9.  The tooth is prepared
 The prep-site is lined with a lubricant
 The composite is placed and cured (but
not etched, bonded!)
 Remove the composite filling and finish
cure
 The restoration is cemented into prep at
same appointment

10.  After tooth is prepped, an impression is taken
 A provisional filling material is placed
 The impression is sent to lab
 Lab fabricates the restoration from composite material
onto the die
 The restoration is cured fully
 The inlay is seated with composite cement at 2nd
appointment

11.  Full metallic crowns, bridges
 Inlays, onlays
 Substructure for PFM’s
 Substructure/framework for partial dentures
 Temporary crowns (prefabricated)

12.  Alloys have advantages over pure metals alone:
 Stronger
 Harder
 Easier to fabricate
 Less expensive
 Alloys are formed when metallic atoms are dissolved
within the atoms and crystals of another metal

13.  Gold is a soft metal
 Less gold in alloy improves
strength
 ADA-approved classes
based on properties of alloy
 Mixed with platinum,
palladium, copper & silver
 Gold alloys are expensive
