Abstract

In conservative dentistry, indirect restorations are rather seldom choosen because direct restorations give relatively good results and fit well to conditions of social dentistry. If an indirect restoration is to be realised, it has to be decided if it will be an inlay, an onlay or a crown and which material will be used. A one step putty wash technique impression is the best for registering inlay-onlay preparations. Most often, preparations are few and grouped and allow the dual arch technique. By this technique, it is possible to register in one time the preparations, the antagonists and their occlusal relation. A complete description of this technique is given in a case report.

Is the wear of dental composites still a clinical concern? Is there still a need for in vitro wear simulating devices?

While once considered a major concern for posterior restorations, wear of dental composites has been substantially reduced by changes in formulation and is considered today by many to be a solved problem. However, minimal evidence exists in the literature to support this conclusion for large restorations, especially those involving the replacement of functional cusps, despite the fact that these restorations are routinely performed. Evidence shows that wear may be of minimal importance for restorations of small to moderate size. However, the literature does suggest that failure rates are higher for larger restorations, and that wear may still be a significant mode of failure for patients with bruxing and clenching habits. In this light, the wear of composites continues to be studied by many researchers, and it is justifiable to seek well-defined and reproducible in vitro methods for predicting this multifactorial phenomenon.
