The Nonretentive Ceramic Overlay
Steven Schiffenhaus, DMD
The nonretentive overlay presents many advantages as a biomimetic alternative to the traditional crown preparation in situations that require full occlusal coverage. This article discusses how these restorations conserve more tooth structure, help extend the restorative life cycle of the tooth, and maximize the fracture resistance of ceramic materials.
