|June 1, 1979
Summary
A novel matrix technique aids in restoring Class V tooth lesions near the gum line. This method works effectively with both filled and unfilled restorative resins for dental applications.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Restorative Dentistry
- Dental Materials
Background:
- Class V lesions in the gingival third of teeth present unique restorative challenges.
- Achieving proper contour and seal in these difficult-to-access areas is crucial for long-term restoration success.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe a modified matrix technique for the effective restoration of Class V lesions.
- To demonstrate the applicability of this technique with various restorative resin materials.
Main Methods:
- Detailed description of a specific matrix technique and its modifications.
- Application of the technique for Class V cavities located in the gingival third.
- Utilisation of both filled and unfilled restorative resins.
Main Results:
- The described matrix technique facilitates accurate contouring and adaptation of restorative materials.
- Successful application demonstrated for both filled and unfilled restorative resins in Class V lesions.
Conclusions:
- The modified matrix technique offers a viable solution for restoring Class V lesions in the gingival third.
- This technique enhances the predictability and success of restorations using various resin-based materials.
