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.
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.
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.
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.
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
A healthy 44 year old female presented to the practice exhibiting marginal failure on old composite restorations #30DO and 31MO along with a small erosive pit noted on the mesiobuccal cusp tip of tooth #30.
A 57-year-old male patient presented to the practice with discomfort in tooth #5DO. Radiographic and clinical evaluation revealed a secondary caries lesion beneath an old restoration.
Detecting Class 2 defects in their early stages can be tricky, as even X-rays may not always reveal them.
A healthy 34 year old male with a 5+ year history of energy drink consumption presented to the practice for restoration of
dentin caries on teeth #18MO, 19DOB and 20DO. On radiographic examination the raw findings were: caries: #20M2D3,
This case highlights the diagnosis and management of early Class II lesions using a contemporary matrix system — the Quad Matrix by Garrison — combined with Shofu’s bioactive composite restorative material.
