Indirect posterior composite inlays and onlays

Indirect posterior composite inlays and onlays are a valuable part of the cosmetic dentist's repertoire of services. They fulfill most of the requirements for an esthetic alternative to the previously considered amalgam, gold, porcelain, and directly placed composite restorations. As in all other cosmetic dental procedures, attention to detail is essential for success. Improving technology will continue to have an impact on the place these restorations occupy in future cosmetic practice.
