In defining tooth restoration procedures, we (mostly myself) have been overly
hung up on the intra/extra coronal procedure distinction. This distinction is
difficult to maintain b/c some procedures, such as onlays, have both intra and
extra coronal dimensions to them.
I suggest that we replace the term 'intracoronal restoration procedure' with
the term 'surface restoration procedure'. The goal is to make it clear that
some restoration procedures are aimed at restoring particular surfaces, as
opposed to restoring the crown as a whole.
Suggested definition:
A tooth restoration procedure in which the structural, aesthetic, or functional
integrity of the tooth is restored by inserting dental restoration material
into a site that is located in the surface of the tooth.
