Clinical evaluation of resin-bonded gold alloy veneers

Current concepts on the management of tooth wear: part 2. Active restorative care 1: the management of localised tooth wear

“…Metal adhesive onlays, which will be discussed further in paper 3, may offer considerable potential (particularly when placed in an initial supra-occlusal position) 22 to treat cases of localised posterior tooth wear. Clinical case 8, Figure 9, is an example of a gold adhesive onlay, fabricated from Type III cast gold alloy, cemented in supra-occlusion using Panavia EX (Kuraray, Japan), to treat a case of localised posterior tooth wear.…”

Cracked tooth syndrome. Part 2: restorative options for the management of cracked tooth syndrome

“…45 The adhesive metal onlay 'is an example of a minimally invasive, indirect restoration that has been used to treat cases of cracked tooth syndrome'. 46,47 Examples are illustrated in Figures 2 and 7. Yap 47 has presented a case report documenting the application of a resin bonded (adhesive) metal onlay for the management of a patient presenting with CTS, involving the placement a cast cobalt chromium alloy (Degussa, Germany).…”

“…46 In the latter study, all affected teeth were prepared to accommodate metal to the thickness of 1.5-1.0 mm and restorative margins were fi nished on enamel tissue, with a 'small chamfer' placed 1-2 mm circumferentially below the prepared occlusal surface. Restorations were evaluated for a mean service period of 48 months; no failures were noted.…”

Crowns and other extra-coronal restorations: Resin-bonded metal restorations

“…10 Clinically, air abraded nickelchromium anterior RBMRs cemented with Panavia Ex gave a survival probability of 0.74 at 56 months, 1 and air-abraded gold RBMRs (anterior and posterior), also cemented with Panavia Ex, were associated with a survival probability of 89% at 60 months. 2 However it cannot be assumed that because a metal surface treatment works with one cement that it will necessarily be effective with others.…”
