A Game-Changing Approach to Difficult Class II Composites
Marc Gottlieb, DDS Bilateral winged wedges create more interproximal separation as well as creating “concrete formers” where most or all of a wall is missing thereby creating biomimetic restorations quickly and predictably. Course date: Monday, November 29, 2010 12:45 PM (EST)
All of the current matrix and ring systems ignore the common problem of large missing sections of posterior teeth. If most or all of the lingual or buccal wall of a posterior tooth is missing the dentist usually resorts to the Old Faithful Tofflemeier band and retainer.
These time tested devices did well with amalgam but do not promote good interproximal contacts when used with todays compsites. In addition they don’t create a biomimetic morphology. A new bilateral, winged wedge system answers all these needs.
