Abstract

In some cases of heavily damaged posterior teeth, especially those on which endodontic treatment was performed, there is no possibility for full prosthodontic treatment. An alternative is chair side made composite inlay, onlay and overlay.
These fillings can be made in the special partial articulator (Easy Croc, Girrbach Dental Gmbh, Germany) which makes them sutiable for final treatment of temporomandibular dysfunctions. Impressions are taken by a special a bimaxillary tray which is then poured into stone type IV gypsum and at the same time mounted in an articulator. Standard composite resin is modelled according to similar occlusal morphology of neighbouring teeth and gnathological rules. Occlusion is then adjusted in the articulator and programmed to a chosen occlusal scheme. Complete work is finally polymerized outside the mouth which eliminates shrinking stress and increases polymerization ratio. After try in, such work finally cemented using composite dual luting cements and then polished. Such chair side made prosthodontic devices increases the structural integrity of heavily damaged posterior teeth and can provide adequate treatment for the TMD patient.
