Replacing old defective amalgam filling with lithium disilicate overlay
Old amalgam removed
Unsupported enamel removed
Hypocalssified enamel that extend buccally removed
Caries removal by using CDD
Overlay preparation that extends into the buccal surface (vonlay or veneerlay prep.)
IDS with G2 bond
RC with universal flowable composite from GC
Cementation with heated composite

Initially, large amalgam on two cavities in upper first molar, sensitive to cold and sweet

Starting amalgam removal and the hypocalssified enamel on the buccal surface also removed, the remaining enamel cusps are weak anb if direct composite done on this situation they may break in unfavourable fracture mode in the future

All weak cusps and unsupported enamel removed

Final cavity design, no hypocalssified enamel, no soft caries, no unsupported enamel , IDS with G2 bond ,RC with flowable composite

In cementation day, isolation with rubberdam then sandblast the biobase

Cementation with heated composite

Immediate result

Buccal extension of the indirect restoration

Immediate after rubberdam removal, occlusal view

Look to the buccal extension of the lithium disilicate overlay (veneerlay or vonlay )

Pre-operative x-ray

Final x ray , look to the fitness
