ABSTRACT

Aim: to analyze factors affecting success and failure of indirect bonded partial restorations (IBPR) include inlays, onlays and other partial crowns 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 from2003 to2017.After selection of articles, data was extracted and analyzed by independent authors according to a predefined reading grid. Results: Twenty two articles were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, This articles were 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 a prerequisite for the success of these restorations.
