Abstract

  The improvement of digital dentistry such as the intraoral scanners and all-ceramics restorations that can be fabricated with computer-assisted design/ computer-assisted manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology, have changed clinicians approach for treating patients. This case report describes the fabrication of lithium disilicate inlay on an endodontically treated mandibular second molar with CAD/CAM restoration offering aconservative alternative for patients. Purpose: The purpose of this article is to provide information on a particular technique to manage a case of an endodontically treated tooth by performing a treatment combining digital dentistry with conventional lab work. This technique will demonstrate efficient the fabrication and adjustmentof lithiumdisilicate inlay restoration.
