The post bonding review phase of ceramic veneers requires concentration and clinical precision to ensure the success of the prosthetic restorative treatment.

Garrison® FitStrip products prove to be extremely useful not only during the final bonding stage, but also throughout the preparation phase. Their thin, flexible, and easily controllable structure enables accurate, minimally invasive interproximal finishing.

A 47-year-old female patient attended the dental practice concerned about the discoloration of a posterior tooth. The patient did not report any pain or sensitivity. Radiographic examination confirmed the presence of a mesial carious lesion on tooth #45.

This article presents a comprehensive quadrant rehabilitation in which three different matrix systems were employed for the management of multiple direct and indirect restorations.

The ReelMatrix™ system provided an efficient and predictable solution for managing subgingival margins

The patient presented for examination with a large, incongruous mesio-occluso-distal restoration on tooth 1.6, with clear evidence of secondary caries infiltration. Due to the patient’s limited financial resources, it was decided to manage the tooth with a direct freehand restoration.

Class V lesions are a common finding in adult patients typically due to abrasion, erosion, or caries. In the absence of caries, abfraction lesions can occur due to tooth flexure, acid erosion, or aggressive brushing.

Managing enamel hypoplasia in premolars during active orthodontic treatment presents a unique clinical challenge. Compromised tooth structure, altered morphology, and the need to preserve orthodontic biomechanics demand a careful and well-coordinated interdisciplinary approach.

Restoring ideal proximal anatomy and achieving contact tightness in deep and wide preparations can be challenging. The Strata-G wide prep ring, combined with the appropriate sectional matrix system, offers a practical solution for these clinical scenarios
