onlay

An onlay is the same as an inlay, except that it extends to replace a cusp.

There are even restorations that fall between an onlay and a full crown when it comes to preservation of natural tooth structure.

Within recent years, surgeons have been applying the onlay to the dorsal aspect of the urethra with great success.

The treating dentist prepares the tooth being restored either as a crown, inlay, onlay or veneer.

An onlay is a method of tooth restoration, which covers, protects or reinforces one or more cusps.

The onlay allows for conservation of tooth structure when the only alternative is to totally eliminate cusps and perimeter walls for restoration with a crown.

As with the buccal mucosal onlay, surgeons have been performing the dorsal aspect procedure since the late 1990s, with an estimated success rate approaching 90%.

If the onlay or inlay is made in a dental laboratory, a temporary is fabricated while the restoration is custom-made for the patient.

The polenta is a little dry, as is the meat, but the dish is redeemed by a liberal onlay of glazed, sweet-sour stir-fried honey squash.

Similar to an inlay, an onlay is an indirect restoration which incorporates a cusp or cusps by covering or onlaying the missing cusps.

The chairside systems are designed to facilitate the 3D scanning of a preparation in vivo and produce the restoration (such as a Crown, Onlay, Inlay or Veneer).

There are four commonly utilized types of urethroplasty performed today; anastomotic, buccal mucosal onlay graft, scrotal or penile island flap (graft), and Johansen's urethroplasty.

Given the extra work done when fillings are removed, their replacements are larger than originals - and if replacement is not possible, an onlay or a crown involves the destruction of even more tooth.

A crownlay is a hybrid dental restoration typically placed over an endodontically treated tooth that is more conservative than a normal full coverage crown, but less conservative than a normal onlay.

When a posterior tooth intended for an abutment tooth already possesses an intracoronal restoration, it might be better to make that bridge abutment into an inlay or an onlay, instead of a crown.

Expected average success rate: The success rate for this procedure is between 87 and 98%, buccal mucosal onlay urethroplasty is considered the best of repair options for strictures greater than 2 cm in length.

When decay or fracture incorporate areas of a tooth that make amalgam or composite restorations inadequate, such as cuspal fracture or remaining tooth structure that undermines perimeter walls of a tooth, an onlay might be indicated.

The CAD/CAM method of fabricating all-ceramic restorations is by electronically capturing and storing a photographic image of the prepared tooth and, using computer technology, crafting a 3D restoration design that conforms to all the necessary specifications of the proposed inlay, onlay or single-unit crown; there is no impression.
