  • Title: Gold restorations of the distal aspect of cuspid teeth.
    Author: Tucker RV.
    Journal: Signature; 1996; ():4-9. PubMed ID: 9227153.
    Abstract:
    Proper cavity preparation and fabrication techniques for inlay and onlay restorations require particular scrutiny. Gold has been established as the most effective restorative material for this indication, demonstrating the maintenance of long-term function, marginal integrity, interproximal contacts, effective contouring, and soft tissue compatibility. This article examines the slot inlay restoration, the distal hollow-grind preparation--alone or with a pin, and the class III gold foil technique for the restoration of the distal of the cuspids, a procedure that remains technically demanding for the profession. The author outlines efficient methods by which these restorations can be accomplished for the repair of lesion that reside on the distal aspect of cuspid teeth.
