Metal ceramic inlays were fabricated using goldtech bio 2000 metal and ceramco porcelain extending to the margin.

Unfortunately both fit and cementation were very unsatisfactory. In 1908 the tooth colored silicate cement was introduced that would become the most widely used anterior filling material for many years. The key comparison between them is the amount and part of the tooth that they cover. Each group was further subdivided into 5 10 and 20 degree taper preparations.

An inlay constructed of either of these materials yields positive cosmetic results with porcelain creating a more natural look than the heavier look of full ceramic. Inlays and onlays are used in molars or premolars when the tooth has experienced too much damage to support a basic filling but not so much damage that a crown is necessary.
