Extracoronal Restorations
A crown is a cemented extracoronal restoration that covers, or veneers, the outer surface of the clinical crown.
If it covers all of the clinical crown => full or complete veneer crown Classified according to material into: 1- full metal 2- ceramo-metal 3- all ceramic
If only portions of the clinical crown are veneered => partial veneer crown
Facial veneer : it consists of a thin layer of dental porcelain or cast ceramic that is bonded to the facial surface of the tooth.
Intracoronal Restorations
Intracoronal restorations are those that fit within the anatomic contours of the clinical crown of a tooth.
inlays : single-tooth restorations for proximoocclusal or gingival lesions with minimal to moderate extensions
onlays:
inlays modified with an occlusal veneer used for restoring more extensively damaged teeth, needing wide mesio-occluso-distal restoration
