    Inlay and Amalgam

    Uploaded by

    Cast inlays require two appointments, one for tooth preparation and another for placement. They provide superior control of contacts and contours compared to amalgam but are more expensive due to requiring multiple appointments. Amalgam restorations can often be completed in a single appointment but provide less control of contours and contacts. Both require a minimum thickness of 1-1.5mm for strength and use bur sizes #245-271 for tooth preparation.
