Inlay/onlay restorations have emerged as a
conservative and effective approach to restore posterior
teeth with extensive cavities, while considering aesthetic,
biological, and mechanical factors. This restorative
technique has gained significant popularity in routine
dental practice and has been extensively documented in
scientific literature, owing to advancements in digital
technologies and contemporary aesthetic materials.
Nonetheless, the effectiveness and durability of
inlay/onlay restorations hinge upon achieving optimal
alignment between clinical indications, preparation
principles, material selection, and bonding protocols. In
this article, an updated perspective on this type of partial
prosthesis is presented through two clinical cases report:
the first case report which describes the rehabilitation of
a severely damaged maxillary molar using an Indirect
CAD/CAM fabricated ceramic inlay-onlay, thereby
shedding light on the latest advancements in this field.
The second case report that illustrates the restoration of
two pulpless premolars previously filled with GIC (Glass
Inomer cement) with two indirect CAD/CAM inlays and
onlays using lithium disilicate-reinforced glass-ceramic
materials
