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.
The patient was sent to me by a colleague knowing that I deal with surgical extrusion to avoid the extraction of the extremely compromised tooth 25.
A case study of restoration of distal caries in a continuation of premolars using the Quad Matrix system from Garrison.
A 56 year-old female patient presented to the practice with discomfort in tooth #4 and food retention in the interproximal area in #3MO and #4DO. Radiographic and clinical evaluation revealed secondary carious lesions that required treatment.
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.
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.
Detecting Class 2 defects in their early stages can be tricky, as even X-rays may not always reveal them.
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 71 year old ASA II female with medical history significant for controlled hypertension and hypercholesteremia presented to the practice with a clinical concern of marginal failure and sensitivity with her amalgam restoration on #28DOL.
