Posterior Indirect Adhesive Restorations and Preparation Designs by Arife Doğan, Zeynep Söylemez

“…Preserving intact enamel and dentin tissues during preparation and increasing the surface area instead of preparation in line with retention principles affects the quality of the adhesive bond and can increase the durability of the restoration. As a result, posterior indirect adhesive restorations are a much more minimally invasive treatment option compared to conventional treatments to achieve aesthetic, functional and biological results.The purpose of this article is to give general information about posterior indirect adhesive restorations and preparation designs.…”
