Inlay-Retained Fixed Dental Prosthesis: A Clinical Option Using Monolithic Zirconia

Blog Article

Different indirect restorations to replace a single missing tooth in the posterior region are available in dentistry: traditional full-coverage fixed dental prostheses (FDPs), implant-supported crowns (ISC), and inlay-retained FDPs (IRFDP).Resin bonded FDPs represent a minimally invasive procedure; preexisting fillings can minimize tooth structure removal and give retention to 3 piece horse wall art the IRFDP, transforming it into an ultraconservative option.New high strength zirconia ceramics, with their stiffness and high mechanical properties, could be considered a right choice for an IRFDP rehabilitation.The case report presented describes an IRFDP treatment using a CAD/CAM monolithic fr5947 zirconia IRFDP; clinical and laboratory steps are illustrated, according to the most recent scientific protocols.Adhesive procedures are focused on the Y-TZP and tooth substrate conditioning methods.

Nice esthetic and functional integration of indirect restoration at two-year follow-up confirmed the success of this conservative approach.
