Summary

The most commonly used materials in the treatment of decayed teeth are amalgam and composite resins. Because amalgam cannot meet the aesthetic expectations of patients and the rapidly increasing belief that it is toxic, its use has decreased considerably. Although composite resins are primarily used in anterior teeth because they provide aesthetically satisfactory results, they have also become the most preferred material in posterior teeth. This shift is largely due to the significant advancements in their mechanical properties, such as improved strength and durability. Indirect restorations have begun to be used to overcome the disadvantages of resin composites applied with the direct method. Both composite resins and ceramics have given good results for such restorations. However, composite resins have the advantage of being cheaper, more user-friendly, and repairable than ceramics. Laboratory-prepared composite inlays/onlays are more wear-resistant than direct composites, especially in occlusal contact areas. Therefore, they are generally indicated for the restoration of large cavities. Considering the material loss caused by crown restorations and the disadvantages of direct composites in the treatment of teeth with extensive caries, we aimed to treat indirect resin composites that we can apply by making more minimally invasive preparations while supporting the dental tissues.
