The new Garrison “Quad” system of matrices, bifurcated wedges, and directional separator rings represents a significant advancement in simplifying and optimizing the management of direct Class II restorations, especially for back-to-back cavities
Restoring a Class 2 defect may seem simple—just place a slice of composite into the cavity and cure it—but this approach neglects crucial factors like contacts, contours, and gingival health.
A 40-year-old woman visited our office with sensitivity to cold and food getting stuck in her lower right quadrant. Unfortunately, her fear of dentistry had caused her to delay seeking treatment for months.
Pt is 20 yr old male with failing composite restorations. Patient reports the restorations were done about 2 years ago. And he keeps getting food stuck when he eats. Clinical and radiographic exam shows failing existing Class 2 direct restorations.
A 42-year-old female patient presented with carious lesions on the distal surface of the maxillary left first premolar and the mesial surface of the maxillary left second premolar, confirmed through visual examination and radiographic analysis.
A 35-year-old male presented with a carious lesion on the mesial and occlusal surfaces of the maxillary left first molar, as observed visually and radiographically.
A 50-year-old male presented with several deficient Class II composite restorations in the maxillary first quadrant. Active and recurrent decay was observed both visually and radiographically, and the patient reported issues with food impaction and gingival inflammation.
The restoration of cavities involving marginal ridges poses a big challenge in developing proper anatomical contours with tight natural contact areas.
The patient came to our observation reporting a domestic trauma (Ellis class II) that led to the fracture of element 2.1. A study model with associated diagnostic wax-up is made beforehand for the purpose of making a silicone key.
A patient came to our office, complaining about chewing and thermic discomfort in the upper right jaw. After clinical and radiographic examination, carious lesions on elements 1.7, 1.6, 1.5 and 1.4 have been detected.
Patient with deep carious lesion on tooth d35(OD). Endodontic treatment was performed prior to restoration. Slickband was used to do margin elevation on distal aspect of the tooth.
