Q

What is an onlay?

A
  • an extra coronal restoration made in lab
  • like inlays but with cuspal coverage
  • height of cusps should be reduced during preparation
17
Q

Give the indications for an onlay

A
  • sufficient occlusal tooth substance loss
  • buccal and/or palatal/lingual cusps remaining
  • remaining tooth substance weakened due to caries, pre existing restoration
  • MOD with wide isthmus
18
Q

When would a cast metal onlay or inlay be preferable to amalgam?

A
  • Higher strength needed
  • significant tooth recontouring required
19
Q

give the cases when an onlay could be used

A
  • tooth wear to increase OVD
  • fractured cusps
  • restoring root treated teeth

21
Q

What occlusal reductions would you make for a gold onlay preparation?

A
