3. History
• Chinese were the first to introduce porcelain in
1000A.D.
• D’Entrecolles is first person to use porcelains in
the dentistry.
• Dental porcelains were used first to fabricate the
complete dentures.
• The technology for the metal ceramics introduced
in 1950’s
• Dechaeteau 1775 was the first person to make a
pair of complete dentures for himself.
4. History
• Italians in 1808 made porcelain teeth.
• Claudius Ash 1985 created an artificial tooth that
could be placed over the complete dentures &
fixed partial dentures.
• Charles Land 1889 developed porcelain jacket
crown

11. Posterior partial coverage restorations:
inlays and onlays
Indications
Small to moderate carious lesions
Large carious or traumatic lesions with undermined
enamel
Endodontically compromised tooth
Teeth where it is difficult to develop retention form
Metal allergy
Opposite restoration is porcelain
12. Posterior partial coverage restorations:
inlays and onlays
Contraindications
Parafunctional habits
Aggressive wear of dentition
Technique sensitivity
•Maintaining a dry field
•Attention to detail in placement
13. Posterior partial coverage restorations:
inlays and onlays
Advantages Disadvantages
Colour Technique sensitivity, increased time
expensive
Periodontal health Strength of the individual unbonded
restoration is low
Resistance to abrasion Lab fee added factor
Radiodensity Potential wear of teeth in the other
arch
