Indirect Restoration

Due to the increasing demand for esthetic restorations their use even in posterior area is increasing giving priority to the choice of ceramic or composite materials used with both direct and indirect methods. Direct restorations are indicated in situations of poor destruction of the tooth and need of a conservative approach. Indirect restorations are indicated in all cases which require the reconstruction of class II cavities with large interproximal areas; reconstruction of one or more cusps; intercuspal isthmus extended for more than one third of the occlusal surface width.
