Comparative study of composite resin placement: centripetal buildup versus incremental technique

S Szep et al. Pract Proced Aesthet Dent. 2001 Apr.

Abstract

An in vitro study was performed to evaluate the effect of two different proximal restoration techniques with different matrix systems on the marginal seal and microhardness of Class II composite restorations. Results indicated that the lowest, however, not significantly different, microleakage was achieved in totally bonded deep Class II restorations prepared with margins surrounded by enamel when using transparent matrices and reflective wedges in combination with the centripetal buildup technique. Highest surface hardness of composite resin was related to transparent matrices and reflecting wedges.
