Abstract: The inlay is indicated where in high strength of cast restoration is required. Inlay provides superior control of contact and contours. The cast restoration withstands occlusal forces of mastication and distributes the forces uniformly and directs along the long axis of the tooth structure and thus it prevents tooth fracture. Inlay also conserve the intact facial and lingual enamel and thus the health of the surrounding periodontium is maintained and the gingival attracts less plaque and thus prolongs the longevity of the restoration. In this article a case-report is discussed of MOD cast inlay restoration.
