Abstract
Purpose: to evaluate the survival rate of indirect bonded partial restorations (IBPR), inlays onlays types, by the analysis of the success and failure factors, the risks and the benefits of these restorations through a systematic review based on in vivo studies.
Materials and Methods: a systematic literature review was performed on MEDLINE, via Pubmed interface using Mesh terms and Boolean equations to identify the clinical trial articles dealing with inlays and onlays published from 2003 to2022.After articles selection, data were extracted and analyzed by independent authors according to a predefined reading grid. Results: Twenty two final international articles were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, based on in vivo studies concerning the survival rate and the main failure factors of inlays onlays.
Conclusion: In view of this study, data analysis of the retained articles has allowed to show the reliability of IBPR presenting an important survival rate (higher than 90%).
Failures exist but their causes are well-identified. A good knowledge of the indications, the materials properties and the preparation and bonding rules are the parameters to be mastered for the success of these restorations.
