Abstract

From a restorative point of view there are many options to restore cavities with extended coronal distruction such as: direct, semi-direct, indirect resin-based procedures and indirect ceramic restorations. As digital dentistry became more prevalent, indirect ceramic restorations is the treatment choice for such situations. To illustrate this, we present  a case report where two large cavities on posterior teeth have been restored using digital impression and ceramic restorations.
