An extensive survey was conducted to determine the current prevalence of intra‐coronal tooth‐colored restorations. Members and guests attending the American Academy of Esthetic Dentistry meeting in Cancun, Mexico, August 1997, were the participants in this survey. The participants were asked 21 basic questions related to all aspects of tooth‐colored restorations. Definite responses were reported in percentages designating every subtitle of each question. Findings indicated that 84% of these restorations were direct placement resins, 4% were indirect placement resins, and only 2% were indirect ceramic. Survey outcomes also revealed that tooth‐colored restorations are rapidly gaining popularity in the field of restorative dentistry.
