case report
A 28-year-old female patient, without any systemic medical conditions presented with a carious lesion affecting both molar 46D and 47M. The following case illustrates the direct composite restoration of the lesion using the Polydentia QuickmatFIT anatomical sectional matrices in combination with myRing Forte and myWedge plastic v-shaped wedges.

4: Matrixing: two QuickmatFIT molar matrices were placed on 46D and 47M to seal the cavities. For effective tooth separation, myRing Forte was positioned before proceeding with the proximal walls restorations. The anatomical contouring of the QuickmatFIT matrices results in two main benefits for the dentist: increased rigidity of the matrix itself, making it easier to position, and improved adaptation to tooth morphology, requiring less finishing of the composite filling.

conclusion
QuickmatFIT sectional matrices from Polydentia combine a high-rigidity alloy with a unique three-dimensional profile, providing an easy solution to a number of difficult clinical situations. When used in combination with myRing Forte, the result is a reconstruction with an accurate and natural morphology, that reduces the time required for the finishing steps.
