Inlays and onlays are custom made restorations ready to be cemented directly into the tooth. It is usually prepared in a dental laboratory. Inlays usually held in between the cusps and cover occlusal surfaces of the tooth between cusps and thus restoration can attached to the natural tissue structure of the tooth while onlays extend even more than inlays since it covers one or more cusps the tooth and is intended to provide additional strength and protection it is therefore indicated for larger cavity areas or areas of damage.
Advantages of inlays and onlays over direct fillings and caps: They're withstanding--stronger than filling, longer lasting, and therefore performing well against bite force. They are aesthetic: porcelain or resin blends with the natural tooth, appearing very natural. Inlays and onlays conserve the structure. Less invasive than the crown and conserving a good deal of tooth structure. Prevent damage: provide strength and protection from further decay/damage.
