Back to Back class II restorations.

A case of deep class II restorations - restored in two appointments. In the first appointment we did the pulp capping (unintentional exposure) and IDS.

In the second appointment we did the Injection overmoulding of the two cavities using the Bioclear matrices.

Description on each picture.

Hope you like the case.

The deep caries on the distal along the impacted 8 was tricky.

Used a no 29 clamp from KSK for the last anchor since it has a deep bow extension that helps in vision and yet doesn't interfere with the clamp placement and airoter head for finishing.

The Haller clamp helped in further keeping the dam down and wide spread isolation.

Always remember to get the contacts and contours right.

Tips for esthetics.

It is difficult to pack a teflon into the sulcus most times because it tends to stick to the instrument and come out, difficult to roll it into a uniform mass.

Here my tip.

Use a piece of cord similar in length to the teflon and roll the teflon around it.

Easy peasy now.

You can easily pack the teflon in now and get double benefit of retraction with cord plus no gingival seepage.

Hope you like the tip.?

4. Packing the cord - easy now
5. isolate - great visibility
6. Use the NE-9 10 fluted carbide to finish close to the gingiva
7. Completed class V restorations using activa

Patient who is a dentist walks in with sensitivity on biting and cold. There was a previous amalgam restoration and a class I on the 7 both of which were failing.

We decided to do an onlay on the 6 and a direct restoration on the 7.

The steps in detail of the onlay design, prep and final bonding are shown below.

Comment if you like the case.

A bonus video of removal of base cement very close to the pulp is shown at the last.
