A Cost-effective Alternative for Handling All-ceramic Restoration During Evaluation and Cementation Procedures

Inlay, onlay and porcelain restorations are widely used for esthetic restorative treatments [1]. The evaluation of the restoration fit and the cementation procedure of these types of restorations are a challenge due to its fragile, thin thickness causing difficulty in handling [2,3]. Dental sticky tip devices (Optrastick; Ivoclar Vivadent) have been developed to solve these troubles [3]. However, the current article describes a cost-effective alternative for handling all-ceramic restoration using a microbrush tip and light-curing resin for gingival barrier.
