fogtömésekkoronák

Fogtömésekkoronák, often referred to as "inlays" and "onlays" in English, are custom-made dental restorations used to repair teeth with significant decay or damage. They are an alternative to traditional fillings and full crowns when the damage is too extensive for a simple filling but not severe enough to warrant a full crown.

These restorations are fabricated in a dental laboratory from materials such as porcelain, composite resin, or gold. The process typically involves two dental visits. During the first visit, the dentist will prepare the tooth by removing decayed or damaged portions. An impression of the prepared tooth is then taken, which is sent to the laboratory for the inlay or onlay to be crafted. A temporary restoration is placed to protect the tooth while the permanent one is being made.

At the second appointment, the temporary restoration is removed, and the custom-made inlay or onlay is carefully fitted and bonded into place. Porcelain and composite inlays/onlays offer a natural appearance, matching the color of the surrounding teeth. Gold is a durable and long-lasting option, though less aesthetically pleasing.

Inlays are used when the restoration fits within the cusps of the tooth, meaning it does not extend over the chewing surface. Onlays are larger and cover one or more cusps of the tooth, providing more extensive coverage. Both fogtömésekkoronák are designed to restore the tooth's shape, strength, and function, offering a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution for moderate dental damage. They are meticulously designed to fit precisely, ensuring a good seal against further decay.
