Dental Inlay

A dental inlay is a microprosthesis that is used to restore damaged teeth. It is a structure made of several layers of material, which is installed in the dental cavity and replaces the missing part of the tooth.

Dental inlays can be made from a variety of materials such as ceramics, metal, plastic and composites. They have high strength and durability, which allows them to withstand heavy loads and maintain their shape for a long time.

Installation of a dental inlay occurs as follows:

1. Before installing the inlay, it is necessary to prepare the tooth, including cleaning and surface treatment.
2. The dentist then takes an impression of the tooth and sends it to the laboratory to make an inlay.
3. After the inlay is ready, it is installed in the tooth cavity using special glue.
4. After installing the inlay, the tooth is treated with a special compound to protect it from external influences.
5. The inlay can be covered with a crown to improve the aesthetic appearance of the tooth.

Benefits of using dental inlays:

– High strength and durability. Inlays can last more than 10 years without losing their shape or requiring replacement.
– Possibility of restoring large dental defects. Inlays allow you to restore teeth that have been severely damaged by caries or other diseases.
– Aesthetic appearance. Inlays look natural and look like other teeth, making them an ideal choice for people who value the beauty of their smile.

However, dental inlays also have disadvantages:

- Price. Installing an inlay can be more expensive than treating caries or filling a tooth.
– Risk of complications. Some patients may experience discomfort after insertion, such as tenderness or pain.
– Age restrictions. Inlays are not recommended for children under 18 years of age because their teeth are not yet fully formed.

In general, a dental inlay is an effective way to restore teeth in the presence of significant defects. However, before using it, you must consult your dentist and choose the most suitable one.

**Inlay** is a microprosthesis, which is a thin plate with a thickness of 0.5 to 4 mm. A ledge folded to the shape of a tooth is made on both surfaces of the inlay. For its manufacture, composite or ceramic materials, titanium, gold and its alloys are used. Depending on the material, chemical or chemical-mechanical methods of prosthetics are produced.
