Occlusal Onlays - The innovative alternative to crowns

Occlusal onlays have been introduced as a new, minimally invasive alternative for the restoration of occlusal defects in the hard substance of premolars and molars.

Advantages

Clearly reduced loss of hard dental substance - and fewer biological risks.

Disadvantages

The preparation of occlusal onlays used to be difficult without special instruments from a technical point of view.

Occlusal contouring and finishing

Ceramic preparations require perfectly round contours. The center of the occlusal surface needs to have a concave shape, whereas the area of the former cusps should have a convex shape to optimally support the occlusal onlay. Since none of the previously existing abrasive instruments were able to create such a special shape, we developed a brand new occlusal abrasive cutter - OccluShapers (370). These are the first instruments to combine both shapes. To ensure the abrasive instruments match the occlusal surfaces of each tooth, the OccluShapers are available in 2 sizes: One for premolars (030) and another one for molars (035). To complete the range, we have added finishers in a matching shape (8370). For occlusal contouring, prepare the occlusal surface with an OccluShaper prep bur (370) of suitable size in a mesio-distal direction along the central fissure. Repeat with a finisher (8370) of the same size and congruent shape.

Indications for Use

Crown preparation.
