description | In the field of restorative dentistry, composite resins have emerged as the most utilized materials. They revolutionized the cosmetic approach to anterior tooth treatment since their introduction to dental practice. In cases where one or more of the tooth's walls are absent, matrices are employed to assist in the creation of the proper anatomic contour and proximal contacts without the occurrence of gingival overhangs. Matrices come in a variety of designs suitable for various therapeutic conditions. Depending on the level of tooth destruction, they might range from a simple metal or plastic strip to a circumferential ring of metal surrounding the entire crown. Although the handling characteristics of modern composites have significantly improved, dentists still encounter challenges with the development of good interproximal contact and proper anatomical contour. The utilization of an anterior matrix system can be paramount in achieving these objectives. |
