ONLAYS
|
CROWNS
|
1. Onlays are porcelain restorations that can
replace existing old fillings, broken metal fillings, cuspal replacement etc.
|
A dental crown is a tooth shaped cap that is
placed over tooth to cover the tooth to restore its shape and size,
strength, and improve its appearance.
|
2. Lesser amount of healthy tooth structure
to be shaved.
|
Amount of healthy tooth structured to be shaved is
more.
|
3. 90% times proves to be a better alternative
than crown.
|
Now a days, with increase in awareness, people opt for
more tooth conservative procedure which is onlay over crown.
|
4. Used in cases of cuspal replacements because of
superior fit, strength durability, easy tooth cleaning, tooth color.
|
Used when there is gross amount of tooth structure
loss and heavy grinding. It is used since it resembles natural tooth morphology.
|
5. The chair side working time for onlay is less.
|
The chair side working time for crown is
comparatively more as compared to onlay.
|
6. It is a less traumatizing procedure than
crowns.
|
Comparatively more traumatizing procedure because
while tooth cutting for the crown, one has to be more extensive which might
to a small extent injure gums and adjacent tooth and surrounding structures.
