Summary

Limited evidence suggests ceramic inlays perform similarly to other posterior restorations. More high-quality studies are needed to confirm the long-term clinical performance of ceramic restorations.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Dental Materials
  • Restorative Dentistry

Background:

  • Ceramic inlays are increasingly used for tooth-colored restorations in posterior teeth.
  • While offering aesthetic benefits, their long-term clinical performance remains uncertain due to limited research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the effectiveness and longevity of ceramic inlays against other posterior dental restorations.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature search was conducted across multiple databases (Cochrane, MEDLINE, EMBASE) from 1990-2001.
  • Included randomized controlled trials comparing ceramic inlays with other posterior restorations.
  • Data extraction and quality assessment were performed independently by two reviewers.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Only one study met the inclusion criteria, evaluating 60 ceramic inlays and 20 gold inlays over five years.
  • Seven ceramic inlays and two gold inlays failed within five years.
  • No significant difference in longevity or postoperative discomfort was detected due to limited study power.

Conclusions:

  • There is insufficient strong evidence to differentiate the clinical performance of ceramic inlays from other posterior restorations.
  • The field lacks well-designed clinical trials, necessitating improved study design and reporting for ceramic restoration research.
