Creating a custom resin wedge before dental cavity preparation perfectly restores the interproximal space and original tooth contact points. This technique ensures precise filling and prevents material overextension for better dental restorations.

Area of Science:

  • Restorative Dentistry
  • Dental Materials Science

Background:

  • Restoring interproximal contacts in molars is crucial for preventing plaque accumulation and periodontal disease.
  • Traditional methods can struggle to perfectly replicate original tooth anatomy and contact points.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of an individualized, photo-cured resin wedge in restoring interproximal space and contact points before cavity preparation.
  • To assess the adaptation and material handling benefits of this technique.

Main Methods:

  • An individualized wedge was fabricated using photo-cured resin in the gingival embrasure prior to cavity preparation.
  • The wedge was designed to perfectly fill the embrasure space.

Main Results:

  • The individualized wedge successfully rehabilitated the interproximal space and preserved the original contact point position.
  • Perfect adaptation to gingival and proximal walls was achieved, preventing obturation material overextension.

    • Conclusions:

    • Pre-operative fabrication of an individualized resin wedge is an effective method for restoring interproximal anatomy in molars.
    • This technique simplifies the restorative process and improves the predictability of achieving accurate contact points.
