Effect of cavity design and material type on fracture resistance and failure pattern of molars restored by computer ‑aided design/ computer‑aided manufacturing inlays/onlays

Conclusion: KZ inlays and onlays can be used safely in terms of fracture resistance as bothhave values exceed the physiologic requirements. CS inlays and onlays/MB and DB are of fractureresistance comparable to intact teeth. The use of conservative onlay design with more cusp coverageguarantees better resistance of CS restorations. Being force absorbing material, the predominantfailure of teeth restored by CS was restorable.Key Words: Ceramics, computer ‑aided design, onlays
