Abstract
Introduction: Ceramic inlay is a more appealing option than metal class I or class II
restorations. Their principal application is in the treatment of impaired posterior teeth with
healthy buccal and lingual walls. These restorations allow you to keep your natural tooth
structure while also benefiting from the mechanical advantages of contemporary adhesive
technology, which can help to strengthen a weak tooth. A feasible alternative to amalgam or
cast gold restoration is ceramic inlays.
Materials And Methods: A total of 58 class I ceramic restoration data were extracted from
Dental information archive system (DIAS) of Saveetha dental college . The ceramic Inlay
restorations were analysed and graded accordingly on shade matching and marginal adaptation.
Results: 70.7 % of the patients were between 20 to 35 years old . 55.2 % were Male. 36.2 %
of Class I ceramic restorations were done in 37 followed by 34.5 % in 47. 44.8 % were graded
as Good and 34.5 % were graded as very good.
Conclusion: The ceramic inlay allows a new alternative restoration treatment for aesthetic
restoration of posterior compromised teeth. For the success of any indirect restoration, it is
imperative that good marginal adaptations are deemed necessary to prevent marginal leakage
