Class II Restorations: Systematic Matrix Selection and Proximal Contact Troubleshooting
A structured framework for troubleshooting Class II restorations, focused on matrix systems rather than materials. Dr Sornsiri Phoochitpakorn shows how band contour, wedge selection and separating rings shape the proximal contact, including modified-wedge and no-wedge PTFE techniques for sub-gingival cases.
Included with All-Access membership, along with every other lecture in the library.
Class II Restorations: Systematic Matrix Selection and Proximal Contact Troubleshooting
Dr Sornsiri Phoochitpakorn returns to The Hybrid Layer to present a structured framework for troubleshooting Class II restorations. Focusing on matrix systems rather than restorative materials, he breaks down how band contour, wedge selection, and separating rings interact to determine proximal contact form and gingival adaptation. Through clear clinical rules, diagrams, and step-by-step case examples, Dr Sornsiri shows how to tailor matrix selection to interproximal distance, gingival margin position, and cavity floor anatomy. He also explores advanced strategies for challenging sub-gingival cases, including modified wedges and pure PTFE no-wedge techniques. Dr Sornsiri provides a predictable, repeatable approach to achieving reliable proximal contacts in even the most challenging Class II situations.
