Abstract

This chapter will emphasise the need to:

  • Be alert to restorations which may be used as a more conservative alternative to crowns

  • Carefully evaluate clinical studies of restorations and be aware of the factors which may bias outcomes

  • Identify factors (including bruxism) which adversely affect veneer performance

  • Be aware of the high clinical success rate of ceramic inlays and onlays

  • Be cautious when using composite inlays and onlays in bruxists and in patients with a previous high caries rate

  • Manage expectations when placing implant crowns and arrange follow-up for any mechanical issues and supportive peri-implant care, particularly in patients susceptible to peri-implant disease.
