What is inlay and onlay in dentistry?
The primary distinction between an onlay and an inlay is that an onlay will cover a cusp of the tooth, whereas an inlay only fills the area between the cusps. The cavity is still drilled from the tooth, and an onlay is fabricated to the exact size and shape of the space.
What is the main difference between an inlay and onlay?
The Onlay covers the cusp of the tooth while inlay only fills the area between the cusps. On the other hand, crown will cover the entire biting surface of tooth and the tooth structure above gum line. The cost of both is almost similar but Onlay can be a little cheaper in price.
