[Long-term clinical evaluation of 2 dental materials used for the preparation of esthetic inlays].

Thirty-six inlays, equally divided between a vitro ceramic and a composite resin, were bonded in pair, on the same type of teeth in fifteen patients. They were followed for a mean period of 75 months. The results showed that both materials were clinically acceptable for restoring posterior teeth, even though ceramic yielded significantly better results concerning colour match and surface roughness.

[Clinical study comparing at 5 years a ceramic and a ceromer used for making esthetic inlays].

Thirty-six inlays, equally divided between a vitro ceramic and a composite resin, were bonded in pair, on the same type of teeth in fifteen patients. They were followed for a mean period of 60 months. The results showed that both materials were clinically acceptable for restoring posterior teeth, even though ceramic yielded better results concerning colour match.
