In the treatment of dental caries, the decayed area must be cleaned and the resulting gap must be filled with a substance suitable for the dental tissue. After the caries is cleaned, the gap formed is filled with metal or tooth-colored composite fillings. Inlay and onlay fillings are the application preferred by the doctor, considering the amount of space created and the relationship of the tooth to be filled with the neighboring teeth.
The fact that they are sought after in dentistry for their durability and aesthetics has made it possible to use ceramics for filling purposes. Inlay and Onlay applications; It is the process of measuring the gap left after the tooth decay is removed using classical or digital techniques, and then closing it with ceramics in a laboratory environment. After the measurement, the ceramic filling prepared in the laboratory is bonded to the tooth with tissue-friendly materials.
