Resin composite restorations have gained increasing popularity over the past two decades. This has been largely driven by a patient-orientated demand for the use of aesthetic restorative materials. It has occurred concomitantly with an improvement in the mechanical properties of available materials, and advances in our knowledge of resin bonding. Onlay restorations are advocated for a plethora of clinical applications. This paper considers the role of adhesive onlay restorations fabricated in resin composite in contemporary restorative practice, including the presentation of two case reports.
Clinical Relevance: This case report describes a minimally invasive, aesthetic solution to provide cuspal coverage by means of either a direct or indirect resin composite onlay restoration, respectively.
Article
The conventional gold onlay restoration has been successfully prescribed for several decades, to serve as a conservative alternative to posterior full and partial coverage crowns, where there is a need for a high strength, extra-coronal dental restoration to provide cuspal coverage (where the buccal and lingual or palatal cusps, respectively, remain intact).1
It was in 1963 that Bowen2 first described the clinical application of Bis-GMA based resin composites. The latter took place almost eight years after the acid-etch technique using phosphoric acid was initially introduced to the dental profession by Buoncore in 1955. With the advances in adhesive resin technology which have occurred over the course of the past half century, it has now become possible to ‘bond’ predictably a plethora of different restorative materials to the dental hard tissues (generally where there is a copious amount of high quality dental enamel available) without the need to provide mechanical/physical retention (and resistance) form, which may otherwise require the removal of further sound, healthy tooth tissue where, for instance, a conventional approach is adopted.
