Dental restorations are procedures performed to treat damage or loss in teeth due to various reasons. The restoration process is performed using different techniques to recreate or correct the structure of the tooth. Today, there are some differences between inlay and onlay restorations and traditional restorations.

Inlay and onlay restorations are procedures performed by placing filling materials inside the tooth. Such restorations are used to recreate lost sections of the tooth. While inlays are used to fill the space inside the tooth, onlays are used to fill the space on the surface of the tooth. This restoration method allows the tooth to be treated while preserving its natural structure.

Conventional restorations are another method used to recreate damaged or lost sections of the tooth. Such restorations are performed by removing the damaged area in the tooth structure and replacing it with filling material. Conventional restorations require the complete removal of the damaged area of the tooth and require the filling material to be placed in a larger area.

Inlay and onlay restorations are a more preferred method because they are treated while preserving the natural structure of the tooth. These types of restorations preserve the aesthetic appearance of the tooth while also lasting longer. Inlay and onlay restorations are also less invasive than traditional restorations and result in less tooth material loss.

Traditional restorations are more invasive because they require the complete removal of the damaged area of the tooth. Therefore, they require a longer healing process. In addition, traditional restorations cause more material to be lost from the natural structure of the tooth and filling materials can deteriorate in a shorter period of time.

In conclusion, there are some differences between inlay and onlay restorations and traditional restorations
