Unlabelled: Although the literature has provided clinicians with some awareness of restorative material alternatives, such as laboratory-processed composite resin, these systems are not yet fully understood and implemented in daily practice, despite their benefits to dental patients. Whereas part I highlights treatment planning, preparation design, and impression making for an indirect resin onlay, this article emphasizes the laboratory fabrication as well as the involved adhesive bonding and finishing protocols. Additionally, it presents considerations for the selection of either indirect resin- or porcelain-based materials.
Learning Objectives: This article emphasizes the laboratory fabrication and adhesive bonding and finishing protocols. Upon reading this article, the reader should: * Gain an understanding of the development of a posterior onlay fabricated of an indirect composite resin system. * Define the factors for selection of restorative materials for intracoronal restorations (porcelain and processed composite resin).

Apexification is a crucial procedure for achieving apical healing in non-vital teeth with open apices. Traditionally, calcium hydroxide has been used for this purpose, but it has significant drawbacks, including prolonged treatment duration, increased risk of root fracture, and the potential for porous barrier formation. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has emerged as a superior alternative due to its biocompatibility, faster setting time, and better sealing properties.

The reverse scan technique offers several advantages, such as improvements of accuracy and visibility of critical anatomical structures, minimizing chair time, and providing better patient comfort. This was a case report successfully employing the reverse scan technique. A 72-year-old male patient desired to restore his teeth in both jaws, as he experienced difficulty eating and had never worn dentures.

The aim of this study was to assess roughness profile and surface roughness after simulated toothbrushing cycles, as well as the degree of conversion (DC) of bulk-fill resin composites at different depths. Forty nine composite discs were made from three low-viscosity bulk-fill resins (Filtek Bulk-Fill Flowable/3M Oral Care - FBF, Beautifil-Bulk Flowable/Shofu Inc. - BBF and Surefill SDR Flow/Dentsply Caulk - SDR), three high-viscosity bulk-fill resin composites (Filtek Bulk-Fill Restorative/3M Oral Care - FBR, Beautifil-Bulk Restorative/Shofu Inc.

Objective: This study aimed to identify and evaluate scholarly research on the efficacy, durability, and long-term stability of various adhesive systems used for bonding direct resin composite restorations and to identify factors influencing bonding performance, such as adhesive composition, application protocol, substrate type, and etching technique.
Materials And Methods: An all-inclusive electronic database search for peer-reviewed scholarly journal articles was conducted using PubMed, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, Dimensions, and the Cochrane Library for research articles investigating the effectiveness of different adhesive systems in direct resin composite restorations, excluding reviews, meta-analyses, opinion pieces, and case reports. The risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane tool (Robvis 2.

Objectives: To summarize and analyze existing evidence regarding the clinical performance of high-viscosity glass-ionomer-based materials (HVGIs) and bulk-fill resin-based composites (BFs) in patients with occlusal or proximal cavities in permanent teeth.
Materials And Methods: A literature search was conducted using PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science (WOS) (last update: April 19th, 2024). Randomized control trials (RCTs), retrospective and prospective comparative cohorts were included.
