Introduction. Inlay retained adhesive restorations present a conservative approach when a single tooth is missing in the posterior region.
Material and methods. Twenty five restorations were included in the clinical study. Patient selection, preparation technique as well as denture fabrication followed current principles in this area. Patients were examined every 6 months over a 2 year examination period. Results were statistically analyzed.
Results. The success rate for the first year comes to 91.1%, while cumulative success probability during the second year (24 months) was 86.6%. Furthermore, colour, texture and marginal staining were satisfactory during the observation period.
Conclusion. Fibre-reinforced composite adhesive dentures are a tooth preserving, minimally invasive, aesthetic and reliable treatment option for single tooth replacement in the posterior area.
