Effective protocols for direct composite restorations of proximal cariess lesion on posterior teeth

by Prof. Dr. Gianina Iovan and Prof. Dr. Stoleriu Simona

The proximal cavities of posterior teeth involve both the mesial and distal surfaces. These cavities can be particularly challenging to detect and treat because they are not easily visible during routine examinations and may not cause immediate pain or discomfort. A well-fitted matrix allows for easy access and control during restoration, resulting in ideal margin placement and a long-lasting restoration.

Join us on Friday, April 4th at 9:00 as we explore effective management of proximal cavities. This event is part of the Congress of Dental Medicine in Iaşi and promises to provide valuable insights and practical techniques.
