clinical case
The patient came to our attention for a periodic control; preliminary analysis evidenced a secondary caries on molar #46 due to leakage of an old composite restoration.
The following case study shows the step-by-step replacement procedure of the old restoration using the Polydentia myQuickmat Prime sectional matrix system with integrated wedges.
1: Preoperative view of the 4th quadrant evidencing the old composite restoration to be replaced on molar 46 MO.
2: The quadrant under isolation with a rubber dam.
3: Cavity preparation: the clinical situation after removal of the old restoration, cleaning of the proximal area and disinfection.
4: Molar #46 equipped with Quickmat Prime matrix and myRing Prime.
5: Occlusal view of the sectional matrix system myQuickmat Prime in place.
6: Restoration of the mesial proximal wall on molar #46.
7: The restored proximal wall after removal of the sectional matrix system.
8: Restoration and modeling of the occlusal surface.
9: The final outcome after finishing and polishing.
10: Lingual view of the final outcome showing the round, natural morphology of the restored proximal wall on molar 46.
11: Immediate postoperative images after rubber dam removal.
conclusion
The myQuickmat Prime system simplifies the protocol for Class II posterior restorations making the entire process easier and faster.
The myTines Prime naturally guide insertion and stabilize the myRing Prime making impossible the ring from slipping out.
The integrated wedges of the myTines perfectly fulfil the function of teeth separators (bilateral) and shape the matrix cervically. They don’t make you regret the wedge at all.
The Quickmat Prime matrix with its anatomical curvature cervical to occlusal, design a natural curvature and a contact point close to the equator.
