clinical case

The patient came for a consultation complaining of discomfort at tooth 35 and 36. Both teeth presented old composite restorations to be replaced.
Because of the absence of the adjacent molar, we decided to use a Quickmat All-round circumferential matrix to restore Molar 36 first and than proceed to an OD restoration on Premolar 35 to replace the filling with a new aesthetic restoration.
In this clinical case, we focus on the procedure for the step-by-step restoration of tooth 35 using the Polydentia QuickmatFlex sectional matrices in combination with the myQuickmat Forte sectional matrix ring accessorized with the extremities myTines GO.

8: The design of the extremities myTines GO grip the matrix to the tooth surfaces away from the contact point optimizing stability and allowing for a more natural, unconstrained concavity.

9: The distal wall of premolar 35 was restored first. LM-Arte™ Condensa (LM-Dental) was used to pack and shape the composite material.

conclusion

The myTines GO extremities by Polydentia are specifically designed to optimize efficiency and precision in Class II restorations, especially in cases where the spaces are wide and extensive. These extremities provide exceptional stability to the matrix, preventing deformations due to being secured at a greater distance from the proximal box. This not only facilitates the handling of the matrix but also accelerates the process of dental wall reconstruction, ensuring quick and effective results. The ability to keep the matrix stable and correctly positioned allows for obtaining precise margins and reducing the risk of subsequent adjustments.
