case report

The patient came to our attention for a regular check. A first analysis revealed a class III carious lesion on incisor 21. We decided to eliminate the carious lesion and proceed with a direct composite restoration of the cavity.
The following case study shows the step-by-step restoration procedure using the Polydentia Unica anterior matrix.

1: Pre-operative view of incisors 11 and 21 evidencing the class III carious lesion on #21, mesial. Pre-wedging was performed to allow for a simpler matrix positioning.

3: Etching of the cavity: it is a good practice to protect the adjacent teeth using Teflon tape.

4: Unica anterior matrix placed on incisor 21 and fixed in place using a wooden wedge. The contoured shape of the matrix embraces the teeth and help the practitioner to better see where the proximal edge will be placed.

6: Immediate post-operatory image after finishing and polishing. The contoured proximal walls of the matrix ensure an accurate proximal morphology with minimal finishing.

conclusion

Unica anterior powered by Style Italiano è uno strumento molto performante per i restauri diretti in composito sui denti anteriori.
Grazie alla sua forma anatomica, Unica si adatta correttamente alle differenti morfologie e permette di restaurare in maniera semplice e veloce i contorni inter-prossimali, anche in presenza di cavità di classe III molto estese che compromettono in modo consistente il profilo del dente.
