  • Prefabricated dental inlay forms for use in fillings
    Patent number: 6835067
    Abstract: Chair-side, modifiable, dental inlay preforms of highly durable material are bonded within mainly posterior teeth following removal of decay. These inlay preforms offer increased strength and resilience over direct composites while being faster, less costly and easier to place than indirect inlays. A kit of preforms containing multiple bins of various geometrical shapes and sizes are available to repair mainly molars and premolars in the upper and lower arches. The inlay preforms can be modified with standard acrylic and/or porcelain burs and inserted with standard dental bonding material. A removable grip eases the try-in process.
