Dentistry can be easier if we have something to guide us through the restoration. That’s the idea behind any matrix system.

As professionals, we’re used to the proximal classic matrices for anterior and posteriors.

The idea of this quick course is to shine a light on the new technologies, what are the new approaches, and also what are the new materials.

This course will also present how we can fabricate different matrices for the palatal wall of anteriors and a novel template system for the buccal.


Topics

  • Basic matrices for posteriors: the new and the classic
  • Fundamentals of proximal anatomy
  • Getting a good contact point on posterior every time
  • Palatal matrixes for anteriors
  • Matrix for mock-ups
  • The Uveneer system: reusable templates for an easier anterior esthetic
