Class II Composites WITHOUT a Wedge + Contact Opening Technique

Watch this episode of the Protrusive Dental Podcast Below!

From Dr Jaz Gulati:

Class II’s are only easy when they are small (but not too small), supragingival, easily accessible with straight-forward anatomy. In other words, about 1% of the Class IIs I encounter - because the vast majority I see are subgingival, wide, with awkward root concavities and tricky access.

I went from using sectional matrices 97% of the time to now just using them 30% of the time - this is thanks to a circumferential matrix I started to use last year which is a game changer. I now do not need to use a wedge in most scenarios (something I used to think was a crime!) and have been using the ‘contact opening technique’.

In this episode, Class II Composites WITHOUT a Wedge + Contact Opening Technique, meet Dr Sunny Sadana, who has brought the Greater Curve system to the UK and taught me a lot about efficiency with direct restorations.
