AbstractIn the past decade and a half there has been an explosion in the introduction of restorative materials and techniques for the restoration of posterior teeth. The primary impetus for this explosion has been society’s fascination with aesthetics in general, and a concomitant desire to eliminate metallic restorations. Case report: - A young male patient reported to the department with complains of food lodgement in distal aspect of mandibular first molars. On examination a composite restoration was seen in relation to 46 (DO) having inadequate contact with adjacent tooth, and a cement filling with 36 (DO) which had been dislodged partially. After a radiographic evaluation and patient’s needs were assessed, it was agreed to replace the restorations with all ceramic press able inlays (CERGO press able ceramic). Conclusion: - A main indication for the use of ceramic restoration in cases requiring a high level of wear resistance.
