Abstract
Introduction: The development of composite resin restoration as an alternative to full metal crown, ceramic and amalgam restoration for extensively broken teeth has led to an increasing interest among dentist. Posterior indirect composite restoration is both aesthetic and less destructive to remaining tooth structure. Thus, an indirectly fabricated resin composite restoration provides a viable as well as cost-effective treatment.
The aim of work: The study aims to understand the restorative procedure used for extensively damaged posterior teeth using composite inlay and only
Methodology: The review is comprehensive research of PUBMED from the year 1983 to 2015
Conclusion: The advent of bonding systems and the use of the etching capabilities of enamel and dentine have considerably modified the therapeutic concept of posterior dental lesions. Modern restorative dentistry is substantially adhesive. The conservative spirit should pervade all procedures. Preserving healthy tissue (not only dental but also pulpal and periodontal) has become the priority. With this approach, indirect adhesive restorations are indicated in large cavities associated with cuspal coverage with absent or reduced amounts of cervical enamel
