A Clinical Trial of Composite Class II Restorations With Two Different Matrix Bands
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Various procedures and techniques have been devised in an attempt to generate tighter and more anatomic proximal contacts with class II composite restorations. The investigators study focuses on using Saddle contoured metal matrix and pre-contoured self-adhesive matrix .Moreover, the investigators have attempted to study proximal tightness and proximal contours of composite restoration as separate variables.

Detailed Description
A total of 60 posterior teeth with proximal cavity to be assigned on alternate basis in two equal groups. Group A teeth received the Saddle contoured metal matrix and group B pre-contoured self-adhesive matrix after cavity preparation.
All teeth to be restored with Nano hybrid composite restorative material. Outcome of proximal contours and contact tightness is determined by a blinded assessor just after the restoration.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Group A : Saddle contoured metal matrix The prepared teeth received the Saddle contoured metal matrix. The saddle clip of matrix connect the band and secured around prepared cavity wall. The anatomical wedge placed into the gingival embrasure to maintain the height of gingival floor and ensure the optimal adaptation of the matrix band in the cervical region. |
Device: Saddle contoured metal matrix, Pre-contoured self-adhesive matrix
Saddle contoured metal matrix placed with the small clipper. The -contoured self-adhesive matrix has self adhesive ability.
|
Active Comparator: Group B:pre-contoured self-adhesive matrix Teeth received the Pre-contoured self adhesive matrix with anatomical wedges. The adhesive end of band closed around the prepared cavity. |
Device: Saddle contoured metal matrix, Pre-contoured self-adhesive matrix
Saddle contoured metal matrix placed with the small clipper. The -contoured self-adhesive matrix has self adhesive ability.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- proximal contacts tightness [immediately after procedure]
The tightness of the proximal contact area resulting from Saddle contoured metal matrix and pre-contoured self-adhesive matrix . It was measured using a nine inch long nylon dental floss (Oral-B, USA).
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Proximal contours and overhangs [immediately after procedure]
To be examined clinically with an explorer and mouth mirror and then on the radiograph by the blinded co investigator.
