Techniques of inlay
Inlay techniques involve restoring damaged teeth by creating a custom filling that fits precisely into a prepared cavity. The process starts with removing decayed or damaged tooth material, then taking an impression to craft a precisely fitting inlay from materials like porcelain or composite resin. The inlay is then bonded into the tooth using dental adhesive, restoring strength and function while preserving surrounding tooth structure. This approach offers a durable, aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional fillings, especially for larger cavities, ensuring the tooth remains stable and functional for years.
