Restorative materials and techniques are constantly refined in order to address the aesthetic expectations of patients. Second-generation laboratory-fabricated composite materials have recently been developed to combine the advantages of porcelain with composite resin. This class of biomaterial can be utilized in a variety of direct and indirect clinical applications than include inlay/onlay restorations, full-coverage crowns, fixed partial dentures, and implant-supported prostheses. This article reviews considerations for the use of these materials from clinical indications through cementation.

D017266 Dental Prosthesis An artificial replacement for one or more natural teeth or part of a tooth, or associated structures, ranging from a portion of a tooth to a complete denture. The dental prosthesis is used for cosmetic or functional reasons, or both. DENTURES and specific types of dentures are also available.
