Inley & Onley Prothesis

What are Inlays and Onlays?

Inlay and onlay is a solution between filling and crown (veneer).

Inlays or onlays are used in cases where there is not enough tooth structure to support the filling and the tooth is not damaged enough to be covered with a crown.
Compared to inlays, onlays cover a larger area.

The life of the inlay or onlay depends on the material it is made of, the condition of the tooth it is in, chewing forces, and how much attention the patient pays to oral hygiene. They usually continue their duties in a healthy way for decades.

What is the Difference Between Inlay and Onlay?

The difference between them is in the area they cover. Inlays are more like fillings, but they are located between the cusps (tubercles) on the chewing surface of the teeth. Onlay, on the other hand, is made to cover one or more mounds.

What is Inlay and Onlay Material?

Inlays and onlays are made of ceramic or fiber reinforced composite.

How is Inlay and Onlay Application Made?

• Since inlays and onlays are prepared in the laboratory, the treatment takes two or three sessions.
• At the first appointment, the caries is cleaned and the measurement of the prepared tooth and surrounding teeth is taken.
• The tooth is closed with a temporary filling material.
• The measurement is sent to the laboratory.
• Temporary filling is removed at the second appointment.
• Inlay or onlay is rehearsed, polished and adhered to the tooth using a special adhesive.
• The closure is fully adjusted and polished by the dentist.

Should I Apply Special Care If Inlay or Onlay Is Made?

The maintenance of inlays and onlays only requires regular oral care, which includes brushing, flossing and regular dental visits. inlay and

What are the Advantages of Onley?

• They are aesthetic
• They are long lasting

• They protect the remaining healthy tooth tissue
• The risk of edge leakage and new caries formation is minimal.
• Tooth-restoration compatibility is very sensitive
• Unnecessary tooth cutting is not done on the teeth, and healthy tooth tissue is preserved at the maximum level, just like laminate veneers.
• It is very resistant to chewing pressures.
• Since it is tooth-colored, it looks so natural that it cannot be distinguished with the naked eye. This is because it reflects light very well because it is a porcelain material. Therefore, it gives a perfect aesthetic appearance close to the natural tooth.
• Since it is a porcelain material, it does not discolor over time as in composite fillings.
• The treatment life is longer than composite fillings.
• Its biological compatibility is good compared to other filling types.
• Does not show allergic reaction.
• There is no wear or breakage due to years and use.
• Besides being aesthetic, it can be finished in a short time (2 sessions). It is also possible to complete it in a single session with the Cad Cam system, with the possibilities of Digital Dentistry in the clinical environment. It saves time.
• Since the porcelain surfaces are polished (glazed), food residues do not stick and are hygienic. Bacterial plaque retention is low.
• Since the filling material is porcelain, hot-cold sensitivity does not occur and decay does not occur again, as in composite filling applications.
• It fits perfectly into the tooth cavity as CAD CAM is produced with the measurements taken on the tooth. It imitates the missing contours of the tooth and the contact points with the neighboring teeth, anatomically close to perfection. In this way, the accumulation of food waste between the teeth is minimized.
• Since special bonding technique is used, there is no edge leakage.
