ok fellow Docs.. just courious, what is "YOUR" preference of choice if you had to have a fairly good sized restoration placed on a lower 1st molar. I would have to go with Gold inlay/onlay hands down..

The buccal wall fractured New Year's eve 1 1/2 years ago. If there had been more tooth structure I might have gone for the onlay, but with the crown I got more retention. Steve Gold onlay, if enough tooth structure, and gold crown if not, provided its on a molar. For a premolar, definitely a tooth-coloured restoration (PFM, Procera, or Empress onlay), unless the patient really wants gold. I really like the way gold looks. I do a fair amount of gold work, but ultimately leave it up to the patient to decide after my 2 cents. John Machine milled ceramic. Same hardness as enamel. Same coefficient of expansion as tooth. > ok fellow Docs.. just courious, what is "YOUR" preference of choice if you > had to have a fairly good sized restoration placed on a lower 1st molar. > > I would have to go with Gold inlay/onlay hands down.. > > Dr. B >ok fellow Docs.. just courious, what is "YOUR" preference of choice if >you had to have a fairly good sized restoration placed on a lower 1st [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > >Dr. B Cerec or stacked porcelain bonded in place. |
