Abstract:

Introduction: Male patient, 29 years old and with poor oral hygiene, went to UCMDC in FMDUP for the replacement of Class II MOD amalgam restoration on tooth 46 for aesthetic reasons. Radiographically it could be observed radiolucent image of the tooth tissue and restoration, suggesting the presence of a recurrent carious lesion. Through the pulp susceptibility testing is classified as a reversible injury, and it was therefore chosen a conservative treatment. Discussion: The current dental restorative materials used in the reconstruction are not only intended to restore form and function, but also long-term aesthetics. When there is a large loss of tooth structure, Inlay and Onlay?s?s are widely used in the reconstruction of the tooth and these can be of three types: metal alloys, composites or ceramics.We chose to use a resin inlay: as compared to metal inlays have aesthetic results arguably superior, and compared to ceramic inlays, have a lower price. Since compared to the direct composite restorations have advantages such as greater resistance to wear, better marginal fit, less polymerization shrinkage, greater ease of obtaining proximal contact points due to be performed in extra-oral environment, greater longevity and beyond repair, adjustment and intra-oral polishing. Conclusions: Composite resin indirect restorations are an alternative treatment with a high performance clinical long-term, allowing to the clinician an improve of functional and aesthetic qualities, with a shorter chair time.
