CASE REPORT
Minimally invasive inlay restoration from
the hybrid ceramic VITA ENAMIC
Gerhard Werling1
Inlay restorations using CEREC procedures have been an established process in digital
dentistry for decades. However, due to the required minimum wall thickness, a lot of
tooth substance frequently had to be dissected in reconstructions of traditional ceramics.
Due to reduced minimum wall thicknesses, VITA ENAMIC (VITA Zahnfabrik, Bad
Säckingen, Germany) allows minimally invasive restorations and can be precisely
ground in thinly tapering edge areas. In the report, Dr. Gerhard Werling (Bellheim,
Germany) explains the clinical procedures for an inlay-restoration of hybrid ceramic in
region 24-26.
1. Initial situation
Figures 1 and 2 show the initial situation. On the basis of the patient's history and
according to the patient's request (male, 38 years), he was not treated with alternative
methods (infiltration technique, fluoridation, regular controls, etc.). Instead, a filling cavity
was carefully dissected on the tooth in which the caries had already penetrated the
approximal enamel in the X-ray image. Surprisingly, in the clinical image, the caries
had penetrated deep into the dentine, so that after extensive excavation, a considerable
defect in the substance was present.
