Direct and indirect composite and ceramic inlays exhibit a space between inlay and tooth, which is filled with a luting composite resin. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of the width of this space upon the quality of the marginal seal of the inlay system. The marginal quality of class II-inlays with small (0.2 mm) and large (0.4 mm) spaces was examined using quantitative SEM analysis and dye penetration. Regular class-II composite fillings served as controls. After thermal and mechanical loading the composite inlays with the wider composite layer showed more marginal gaps than both groups of ceramic inlays. The ceramic inlays did not show a significant deterioration of the margins. The least amount of dye penetration was observed in ceramic inlays with a wider composite layer at the interproximal cavity wall. Composite fillings showed more dye penetration than inlays.

D007284 Inlays Restorations of metal, porcelain, or plastic made to fit a cavity preparation, then cemented into the tooth. Onlays are restorations which fit into cavity preparations and overlay the occlusal surface of a tooth or teeth. Onlays are retained by frictional or mechanical factors.

D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.

D003776 Dental Porcelain A type of porcelain used in dental restorations, either jacket crowns or inlays, artificial teeth, or metal-ceramic crowns. It is essentially a mixture of particles of feldspar and quartz, the feldspar melting first and providing a glass matrix for the quartz. Dental porcelain is produced by mixing ceramic powder (a mixture of quartz, kaolin, pigments, opacifiers, a suitable flux, and other substances) with distilled water.
