The patient came for a consultation complaining of discomfort at tooth 36 when chewing. Molar 36 presented a very old composite restoration with initial disto-occlusal infiltration. We decided to carry out an OD restoration that also involved the buccal surface in order to replace the filling with a new aesthetic restoration. In this clinical case, we illustrate the procedure for the step-by-step restoration of tooth 36 using the Polydentia QuickmatFIT Molar sectional matrix in combination with the myQuickmat Forte sectional matrix ring....
