A user report by Dr. Florian Bremer The placement of fillings is an integral part of the daily workflow in a dental practice nowadays. While silver amalgam fillings were still considered to be the standard a few years ago, composite fillings are now mainly used. A new direction has also been taken in the field of matrix systems. Today, a large range of matrices is available for the user. Full-matrix systems, e.g. the Tofflemire system, or sectional matrix systems can provide the decisive advantage. A lot of factors play a role during the placement of a filling, starting from the size and position of the cavity up to the level of patient cooperation. But also, the dentist's skills are important.
