Onlays Vs Full Crowns - Decision Making 2024 - PDP189

Have we fully shifted towards lithium disilicate overlays and onlays? Are full crowns considered a sin in 2024? (Maybe just on Instagram then!) Spoiler: Crowns TOTALLY have a place, and so do large direct composite restorations! Dr Alan Burgin and I share our decision making trees for indirect restorations as part of ‘Crowns and Onlays Month’ on Protrusive Dental Podcast. Find out which clinical factors sway us more towards a Overlay vs a Vertiprep - and the rationale for each type of restoration. Protrusive Dental Pearl: Use Vaseline on the gingivae when carrying out a ‘smile trial’ or bis-acryl mock-up - will result in an easier clean up!
