In cases of severe bruxism or tooth fragilization, CAD\/CAM composite resins or pressed CAD\/CAM lithium disilicate glass ceramics are often recommended, although this choice relies mainly on scarce in vitro research as there is still a lack of medium- to long-term clinical evidence. The decision about whether or not to cover a cusp can only be made after a multifactorial analysis, which includes cavity dimensions and the resulting tooth biomechanical status, as well as occlusal and esthetic factors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Original Language:\u00a0EN Publication Acces Abstract The second part of this article series presents an evidence-based update of clinical protocols and procedures for cavity preparation and restoration selection for bonded inlays and onlays.
