Area of Science:

Restorative Dentistry
Dental Materials Science

Context:

Extensive tooth decay often necessitates conservative yet durable restorative solutions.
Traditional cavity preparations may compromise weakened cusps.
Aesthetic considerations are important in posterior dental restorations.

Purpose:

To describe and discuss a modified amalgam onlay preparation technique.
To present a conservative approach for restoring extensively decayed teeth.
To highlight the benefits of this preparation for clinician convenience and tooth preservation.

Summary:

The modified amalgam onlay preparation resembles cast restoration preparation with a 90-degree cavosurface bevel.
It is suitable for Class 1 or Class 2 cavities with weak cusps requiring protection.

Angled buccal and lingual walls facilitate amalgam condensation and carving, preserving natural tooth contours.

Impact:

This technique offers a conservative and aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional restorations.
It enhances clinical efficiency during the restoration process.
Preserves natural tooth morphology, particularly the buccal surface of cusps in posterior teeth.
