Description
Summary:Restorative treatment in recent times has seen a paradigm shift due to minimally invasive adhesive dentistry. With advent of material science, bonding mechanisms, and superior isolation techniques, treatments based entirely on adhesion are effectively attainable. The choice between direct and indirect restorative technique, mainly in posterior areas, is still a challenge and involves biomechanical, anatomical, functional, esthetic, and economic considerations. The rationale of this case report is to demonstrate a revised cavity design based on morphological principles in terms of geometry (height of contour and cuspal inclines) and structure (dentinoenamel junction morphology) inspired from conventional preparation techniques.
