Abstract：Toothdecayisthemostdominantdiseaseindentalclinics.Aimingtostopthedevelopmentof caries,reconstruct the morphology and recover the function of the tooth,direct and indirect restorations have been used as the treatment.Chairside CAD/CAMoperatingsystem has been demonstrated to simplify the procedure forproviding restora-tions,minimizing the chair time andproviding accurate and esthetically excellent ceramic restorations.Which makes it ac-cepted rapidly.Ceramic restorations with the advent of adhesive dentistry have gained clinical proof for their high success rates.Nevertheless,there is no well-accepted cavity classification method for CAD/CAM ceramic restorations.There-fore,in this paper,the ceramic restorationsin posterior teeth were classified as Inlay,Onlay,Full Crown,Endocrown,O-verlay,Occlusal Veneer,Endo-onlay and Endo-overlay.This modified classification will help dentists in clinical deci-sion-making when facing posterior tooth decays.Also,it will facilitate the clinical research and communication between clinicians.
