    Area of Science:

    • Dental Materials Science
    • Restorative Dentistry

    Background:

    • Traditional matrix bands present challenges in achieving optimal contour and adaptation for proximal restorations.
    • The need for improved handling and anatomical accuracy in dental restorative procedures is ongoing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate a novel hybrid matrix band designed for enhanced restoration of proximal tooth surfaces.
    • To combine the beneficial properties of rigidity and flexibility in a single matrix system.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a hybrid matrix band incorporating two distinct thicknesses.
    • Application of the hybrid matrix band in simulated or clinical restorative procedures on proximal tooth surfaces.

    Main Results:

    • The hybrid matrix band demonstrated a combination of rigidity for stability and flexibility for adaptation.
    • Improved contouring and marginal integrity of proximal restorations were observed.

    Conclusions:

    • The hybrid matrix band offers a promising advancement in restorative dentistry.
    • This design facilitates more accurate and efficient restoration of proximal tooth surfaces.
