Porcelain inlaying is a grand thing in certain cases, and it is much to be regretted that the present existing circumstances do not warrant its being used more extensively.

1895, Benjamin Holliday Catching, Catching's Compendium of Practical Dentistry - Volume 5, page 159:

It is not strange that this principle of inlaying should occur to those men years ago, for it was one of the most ancient of arts and it had been brought well-nigh to perfection. The thought of restoring broken surface in teeth, as was being done in gold and wood was ever present with them.

1907, The Pacific Dental Gazette - Volume 15, page 759:

It is hard to tell whether it was the solid block inlay idea of itself, or else something to help cement to be retained in a cavity, that has brought about inlaying of cavities;

1913, The Practical Manual of Dental Casting, Being the Recorded Experiences of Many Able and Eminent Men in the Dental Profession:

They felt with a prophetic instinct that sometime and somewhere these obstacles would be removed, that difficulties apparently unsurmountable would be overcome, and that the principle of inlaying teeth would become recognized as good practice in restoring broken-down tooth tissues.

1926, “The Dental Craftsman”, in (Please provide the book title or journal name), volume I, page 12:

(dentistry) To place an inlay in a tooth.

All ultimately from Proto-Germanic *splintǭ, *splintō (“piece of wood, splinter”), from Proto-Germanic *splint-, *splind- (“to split”), from a nasalized form of *splītaną (“to split”), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)pley- (“to split, splice”).

Whether epithelial cells from Hertwig's sheath contribute to initial cementum formation is controversial as has already been discussed in Chap. 1.
