Abstract
This article discusses potential concerns and important considerations when selecting and using matrix transfer techniques for the direct, definitive addition of composite resin to teeth. It also provides guidance to aid these processes with the use of case studies, primarily focusing on the management of tooth wear.
Considers the advantages and disadvantages of using different matrix transfer techniques for the restoration of multiple teeth with direct paste composite.
Addresses common concerns and problems associated with using matrix transfer techniques, particularly in relation to managing the worn dentition.
Suggests guidance on selecting appropriate matrix transfer techniques to minimise complications and optimise outcomes through the exploration of case studies.
