In the recent evolution in composite resin technology a new class of materials known now as color-matching universal composites emerged. The idea behind these materials is that they should provide for pronounced blending/matching with the underlying substrate, drawing from the surrounding natural tooth structure, thus resulting in better color blending between tooth and restoration.

Read More ...Read MoreBy Dr. Rafael Beolchi Tooth sensitivity is one of the most common complaints among dental patients and it is usually associated with the exposition of dentinal tubules and/or vulnerable enamel.1, 2 The main mechanism of pain is because of the fluid movement inside the dentin tubules, which may result in pulpal nerve stimulation. It is important to remember that not all cases of exposed dentin will necessarily mean the presence of exposed dentin tubules, and that’s because of areas where sclerotic dentin might be present.

Read More ...Read MoreUser Report by Dr. Elisa Jurianz I have been using sectional matrix systems in my practice for some time now. They allow me to create significantly better contact points during restorative treatments compared to the conventional Tofflemire systems. What every dentist is looking for are restorations with a good contact point to the adjacent tooth in the upper third of the crown and an appropriate marginal ridge. The procedure should ideally be easy and uncomplicated. In the past, I used to work, for example, with the Tofflemire matrix system and was frequently faced with problems. For instance, the tooth did not have a naturally convex shape and the contact point to the neighboring tooth was almost situated at the same level as the occlusion. Sometimes, reductions due to occlusal adjustments even led to the disappearance of the contact point and finally to the loss of patient comfort.
