Simple peg-shaped lateral restoration
About the case
What could be simple about restoring a peg shaped lateral? With 3M™ Filtek™ Easy Match Universal Restorative (add link to PDP), it is easy to focus on shape, contour and anatomy, while achieving a natural-looking, aesthetic result – without worrying about multiple layers and shades of composite.
Initial situation
After isolation and retraction, the tooth’s enamel is minimally prepped with a fine diamond bur, to enhance adhesion
The preparation and proximal aspects of the adjacent teeth are etched with phosphoric acid
3M™ Scotchbond™ Universal Plus Adhesive is applied to the prep and adjacent teeth, dried and cured
3M™ Filtek™ Easy Match Universal Restorative is used to contour the distal aspect of the central incisor, as well as the mesial aspect of the canine
An increment of Filtek Easy Match Universal Restorative is placed on the buccal aspect and contoured to provide a scaffold for the mesial and distal contours of the lateral
Using a sectional matrix, the distal wall and contact point with the canine is created
The same procedure is repeated for the mesial aspect of the lateral, ensuring a contact point
After the general contours are defined, and contact points established, the restoration is ready for finishing and polishing
Final appearance, after finishing and polishing, as well as gingival healing
