PROXIMAL COMPOSITE RECONSTRUCTION

The anatomical proximal reconstruction in the anterior region is one of the most important objectives that protects the proximal papilla, gives a natural esthetic appearance and also tooth stability. This is why the proximal area should be reconstructed as close as possible to the proximal natural aspect of the anterior teeth. The proximal surface in an apical coronal view has a gingival embrasure, the contact area and also the incisal embrasure. This surface is not flat, it has a 3D architecture. This presenatation will focus on understanding the design of the natural proximal surface and how it can be restored with composite using basic proximal matrices that can be found on the market.
