All-Ceramic Inlay-Retained Fixed Dental Prosthesis: A Case Report

Abstract

Different restoration options are available for replacing a single missing tooth on the posterior region; full coverage fixed dental prostheses, implant-supported crown and inlay-retained fixed dental prostheses (IRFDPs). In fact, this last achieve an esthetically and functionally good result, and present almost reversible treatment given that, the preparation is conservative preserving dental and gingival tissues. Thus, it can be concluded that all-ceramic inlay retained fixed dental prostheses are an esthetic option that can be recommended as viable short- or middle-term minimally invasive restoration. Case selection, material choice, preparation design and luting procedures are determinant factors of success. This paper aimed to discuss through a case report, the material and the preparation design of all-ceramic inlay-retained fixed dental prostheses.
