Main Results:

  • Esthetic inlays are a suitable method for cosmetic dental restorations.
  • Adhesive techniques are crucial for inlay insertion, with margin quality being essential for success.
  • In vitro and in vivo studies indicate good clinical performance of esthetic inlays.

Conclusions:

  • Esthetic inlays, when placed with adhesive techniques, show promising clinical behavior.
  • Improvements in luting techniques, such as ultrasonic energy, may simplify application.
  • Routine use as an amalgam substitute requires further long-term clinical study validation.
