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.

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 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.

Interproximal space management is a very important issue in clear aligners therapy. This case presented crowding in upper and lower arches. It was treated with clear aligner therapy through a digital planification. The interproximal reduction (IPR) was carefully planned.

A healthy ASA II 72-year-old female presented for restorative replacement of old composite restorations on #7MP and DP as well as #8MP.  The restorations were well aged and exhibited gross marginal leakage, and interestingly abutted against aged feldspathic porcelain venee

Following a diagnosis of carious lesions on the distal walls of teeth 14 and 15, the defects were resolved by conservative therapy. Using the new Strata-G ™ orange and blue separator rings, it is possible to deal with multiple restorations on the same tooth by stacking the two rings.

The presence of carious lesions on the distal walls of teeth 24 and 25 required conservative intervention in order to solve the patient’s problem.

Optimizing the shape and emergency profile of an interproximal wall is the most delicate phase of the entire conservative workflow for Class II lesions. In this case, the lesion on the mesial wall of tooth 16 was treated.

In this article, Dr. Bis shows you how to eliminate those annoying food traps that patients complain about in a very fast and efficient way. She also shares with you her step-by-step process that helps you determine and analyze areas that your patient wasn’t even aware of.
