Indirect Tooth Colored Restorations

The focus of dentistry in the present times is not only on prevention and treatment of disease but on meeting the demands for better esthetics. Thus, dentistry has evolved from a curative to a creative science in a very short span. The primary aim of any dental restoration is to best restore the form, function and aesthetics of the tooth. Advances in modern dental materials provide patients and the dentist a number of choices from which one can create more pleasing and natural looking restorations. Composite resin and ceramics currently are the most commonly used indirect restorative materials alternative to direct restorations, providing improved control of the marginal fit, proximal contacts, anatomic form, color matching polymerization shrinkage, access and wear resistant tooth colored restorations. Hence, esthetic dentistry created new dimensions in providing esthetics and functional rehabilitation.
