Indirect composite
Less technique sensitive Significantly lower fracture rates with flexural and compressive strength >140MPa
Preparation
Which design to use? Divergent, non retentive preparation Resistance form may be incorporated with rounded proximal boxes No grooves! Resistance and retention adhesion Walls and floors smooth, even
Rounded internal angles to enhance adaptation of the restorative material Occlusal reduction should be anatomic and uniform Minimum of 2 mm for strength No bevels In case of estehetics use a long chamfer instead of butt joint
Preparation
The main feature of such restorations is the use of butt joint margins.
seating
Bevelled margins are more likely to fracture under occlusal forces Bevelled margins are more difficult to prepare Bevelled margins are more difficult to finish in the laboratory Bevelled margins tend to remove more tooth structure
