Inlay fillings are a savior treatment option for cases where the remaining tissue in your tooth is not enough to be filled but enough to be coated. In these cases, if we prefer composite filling instead of inlay filling (especially in molar (back) teeth), your tooth cannot withstand the biting and chewing forces and may break after a while and even need to be pulled out. In other words, if inlay fillings are performed correctly, they protect your teeth for many years.

Composite fillings, especially on teeth with root canal treatment, may result in tooth fracture after a while. In this case, depending on the fracture line, the tooth may even be pulled out. The reason is that teeth with root canal treatment are lifeless as their nerves have been removed and they are more prone to fracture. Protecting these teeth by making porcelain filling ensures that the tooth stays in the mouth for a very long time, even for a lifetime.
