Summary:Objectives. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the survival rate of ceramic inlays provided in a practice environment by one of the authors over the past decade. Methods. 183 inlays were examined in 67 patients. The interval between placement and assessment was, on average, 4 years (s.d. 2.75 years) and varied from 4 months to 10 years. Kaplan–Meier survival-type curves were used to assess the survival rate. Results. Five inlays failed: four due to endodontic reasons and one due to fracture. Four failures were in permanent molar teeth while the other was in a premolar tooth. A success rate of 97% at 10 years was estimated. Conclusions. The clinical durability of the resin-bonded ceramic inlays investigated was satisfactory.
