Class 2 Composites WITHOUT A Wedge + Contact Opening Technique

Dr Jaz Gulati says 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’.

This may sound grim, but the fact is Dentistry is a demanding and high-stress profession, with long hours, difficult patients, and complex procedures. This can lead to burnout and overwhelming feelings which may contribute to depression and, in the extreme, suicidal thoughts.

We live in an age of abundance. Most of us enjoy access to information at the touch of a button, have clean clothing, a place to live and plenty of food and water. Why then have depression rates in the UK been increasing over the past few decades?
