A novel dental finishing device significantly improved the preparation of complex tooth margins. This new tool offers superior results for the axial box margin and proximo-cervical curvature in dental cavity preparations.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Dental Materials Science
  • Restorative Dentistry

Background:

  • Effective finishing of dental cavity margins is crucial for restoration longevity and marginal integrity.
  • Conventional instruments can struggle to achieve optimal smoothness on complex tooth surfaces, particularly the proximo-cervical area.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of a newly developed dental finishing system for complex cavity margins.
  • To compare the performance of the new system against traditional axial margin trimmers using scanning electron microscopy.

Main Methods:

  • Minicavities were prepared in 26 caries-free teeth.
  • A new EVA-system with a flexible Cavishape file was used for finishing the axial box margin and proximo-cervical border.
  • Scanning electron microscopy and a scoring system were employed for comparative analysis.

Main Results:

  • The new device demonstrated significantly superior finishing of the proximo-cervical curvature.
  • The axial box margin also showed significantly better finishing with the novel system.
  • Scanning electron microscopy confirmed enhanced surface smoothness and adaptation.

Conclusions:

  • The developed EVA-system with a modified Cavishape file is highly effective for finishing challenging dental cavity margins.
  • This new device offers a significant improvement over conventional axial margin trimmers for complex anatomical areas.
  • Enhanced margin finishing can potentially lead to improved clinical outcomes and restoration success.
