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 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.
