Use of a Modified Matrix Band Technique to Restore Subgingival Root Caries

M G Brackett et al. Oper Dent. 2018 Sep/Oct.

Abstract

Given the increasing incidence of root caries in the elderly population, clinicians frequently must isolate and restore subgingival preparations. This article demonstrates a technique utilizing a modified Tofflemire matrix band that creates a preparation free of crevicular fluid and blood for restoration with resin-modified glass ionomer cement.
